5 days ago · Description. The Deep Impact Flyby Spacecraft Radio Subsystem was used primarily for communications, commanding, tracking, and data transfer, but the telemetry also has the potential to be used to determine very small accelerations due to the mass of the comet body or dust and gas drag during the flyby. The radio system operates in X-band (8. ...
4 days ago · Deep Space Climate Observatory. Photo: NASA/NOAA. Image: NASA/NOAA. DSCOVR, formerly known as GoreSat and Triana, is the first operational spacecraft to be deployed to the Sun Earth Lagrange Point 1 to deliver continuous full-disk observations of Earth and measure space weather parameters, located in a position 1.5 Million Kilometers closer to ...
2 days ago · Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, as part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System and the interstellar space beyond the Sun's heliosphere. It was launched 16 days after its twin, Voyager 2. It communicates through the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN

5 days ago · Power is provided by solar panels and a battery, with a peak power of 450 W. Communications are via X-band directly to the Deep Space Network. Top speed of the rover is 0.8 km per hour. It will be driven from Earth in near-real-time. It will carry a 1-meter long drill and a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The rover is currently scheduled to be ...
5 days ago · Each spacecraft will be spin-stabilized, normally at around 15 rpm, and will be cylindrical in shape, with a 2.9-m diameter and 1.3-m length. It will have two rigid 5-m radial experiment booms, four 50-m experiment wire booms, and two axial telecommunications antenna booms. Telemetry downlink bit rate will be 2 to 262 kbit/s.
