📡 #NASA’s #DSN is currently oversubscribed and for the foreseeable future will continue to be overburdened by the demands created by an increasing number of #DeepSpace 🌌 missions, including crewed and #robotic missions. Capacity remains a challenge because the Agency has made limited progress ⏳🥱 towards upgrading the DSN. The Agency does not expect to have each of the three sites (#Canberra, #Goldstone, and #Madrid) equipped with 80 kW transmitters until at least 📆 2029 https://oig.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ig-23-016.pdf
