New technology starts in 2029 and “is a symbol for the coming years.” NASA already does laser tests, and is prepared for the future of Earth-space communication.
The new structure of the Deep Space Network in Camberra, Australia, points out 60 YEARS OF NASA INTERESTELLARY COMMUNICATION And it promises to bring innovations never before seen in this field. It operates in 2029.
And already has a name: Deep Space Station 33, will be a Multifretely beam wave guide antenna.
It is 34 meters wide and most of its structure will be hidden underground, where there will be a concrete pedestal that will host advanced electronics and receivers in a climate space, according to.
“When we look back, for 60 years of incredible achievements in Canberra, the inauguration of a new antenna It is a symbol for the next 60 years Scientific discoveries, ”says Kevin Coggins, Assistant Associate Administrator of NASA’s Scan (Space Communications and Navigation) program.
“Building cutting -edge antennae is also a symbol of how Deep Space Network adopts new technologies to allow exploration of a growing fleet of space missions.”
NASA is also exploring new innovative technologies: currently conducting experiences with laser communications, or optical, to allow a significantly higher flow of data from and to the earth.
In fact, Deep Space Network was officially founded on December 24, 1963. “Camberra played a crucial role in the screening, communication and data collection of some of the most important missions in spatial history,” said Kevin Ferguson, director of Camberra’s deep space communications complex.
“As the network continues to advance and grow, Canberra will continue to play a key role in supporting the exploitation of cosmos by humanity.”
