STS definitely encrypted all comms- voice, data, telemetry, and printer for the classified portions of all missions (that would be STS-51C, STS-51J, STS-27, STS-28, STS-33, STS-36, and STS-38 along with parts of STS-39 and STS-53). My assumption is that the decryption happened upstream of the teleprinter- the teleprinter was definitely chosen because they thought it would be useful to print things for all missions, not because it provided special encryption for military purposes. When they did classified stuff everything was encrypted. Basically, printers are really useful. They are heavy and they can break, but are tremendously useful. |
