NASA's Deep Space Network, an array of giant radio antennas, allows agency missions to track, send commands to, and receive scientific data from spacecraft venturing to the moon and beyond.
It was picked up by the Deep Space Network, NASA's international array of giant radio antennas. NASA on Friday said it had lost contact with Voyager 2, located nearly 12.4 billion miles from Earth.
The antenna on Earth responsible for sending commands to both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 will be offline for several months. Deep Space Station 43, a 230-foot-wide antenna in Australia, will be ...
It was supposed to deploy five days after launch, but the antenna became stuck at the top of the spacecraft and couldn’t be released from its mounting bracket. The Juice spacecraft has small ...
Primary thrusters carefully orient the spacecraft so it can keep its antenna pointed at Earth. This ensures that the probe can send back data it collects from its unique perspective 15.5 billion ...
Decades in the making, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA, could revolutionize our understanding of the universe through its detections of gravitational waves. This is your in-the ...
Space Systems Command said Monday it awarded contracts to two firms — Auria, formerly Boecore, and Sphinx Defense — to ...
ESA fired a ‘non-explosive actuator’ in stuck bracket of the ESA JUICE spacecraft's RIME antenna to jar in loose. Mission controllers have been trouble shooting the antenna deployment for 3 weeks.
The acronym that LISA stands for is a bit of a mouthful – Laser Interferometer Space Antenna – but in essence, the space probes will detect and measure gravitational waves originating from ...
Elon Musk's company SpaceX wants to set up 40 antennas in Leuk in the Swiss canton of Valais. These are to serve as ...
