Document Description
The DSN Array Project would be an array-based system, part of a more than 1000 times increase in the downlink/telemetry capability of the DSN. The key function of the DSN Array would be to provide a cost-effective, robust telemetry, tracking, and command services to the space missions of NASA and its international partners. Currently NASA science missions send data back to earth using the DSN. This network currently consists of very large antennas, from 34 meters (112 feet) to 70 meters (230 feet) in diameter located at three locations around the globe. NASA must develop a comprehensive strategy for deep space communications that meet the forthcoming dramatic increase in mission needs in a reliable and cost effective manner, and the present DSN architecture cannot be expanded to do this.
