Capable of receiving both radio frequency and optical signals, the DSN’s hybrid antenna has tracked and decoded the downlink laser from DSOC aboard NASA’s Psyche mission. An experimental antenna has received both radio frequency and near-infrared laser signals from NASA’s Psyche spacecraft as it travels through deep space. This shows it’s possible for the giant dish antennas ...
In 1977, five years before ET asked to “phone home,” two robotic spacecraft began their own journeys into space — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Almost 46 years later, after exploring the Solar System and beyond, one of those spacecraft — Voyager 2 — has lost contact with Earth. All communications with Voyager 2 go ...
When the four-decades-old Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft entered interstellar space in 2012 and 2018, respectively, scientists celebrated. These plucky spacecraft had already traveled 120 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun to reach the boundary of the heliosphere, the bubble encompassing our solar system that’s affected by the solar wind. The ...
