  1. well, what a fantastic re-entry & splashdown for #ArtemisII 🎉

    gratz to everyone at #NASA (especially the #DSN & #TDRS folks 💕), #CSA, & #ESA 👏👏👏

    #Artemis  

  2. the important #ArtemisII numbers from #NASA’s #DSN 🎉 👀

    DSS-43 & DSS-34 are both communicating with #Artemis on S-band:

    DSS-43 has downlink @ 3Mb/sec and -110 dBm

    DSS-34 has downlink and uplink

    (not shown: at the time this screenshot was taken DSS-34 had downlink @ 3Mb/sec and -110 dBm & it’s uplink was transmitting @ 0.2 kW

    fantastic work by everyone out at #CDSCC and the rest of the DSN 👏👏👏

  3. it looks like DSS-43 & DSS-34 out at #CDSCC^ are setting up to communicate with #ArtemisII during their ##TLI burn @ 10:49 local time (AEDT)… 👀

    ETA: it looks like the DSN will just be watching & waiting as #Orion has switched back to #TDRS for the TLI burn – I’m guessing DSN is pointed & tracking Orion on standby in case they’re needed (🤞 not)

    ^ the #Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex

  4. note: #DSN uses a “follow the sun” approach for operating antennas, so the antennas at #MDSCC in #Madrid are currently being operated by the ops team at #CDSCC in #Canberra since it’s day time here in #Aus & night time in Spain 🙃

    normally there’s only a skeleton maintenance crew on site at the Deep Space Communication Complexes overnight but I expect there are some additional staff on site (or on call) just in case for such important mission support

  5. you can see what’s happening on the #DSN Now website, part of #NASA’s #EyesOn visualisation tools

    eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now/dsn

    antennas showing “ART2” are currently in direct comms with #ArtemisII & antennas showing “DSN” are mostly^ tasked to #Artemis mission support but not currently communicating with the spacecraft

    – antennas with “squiggly lines” going in both directions are both transmitting & receiving data (Tx & Rx)

    – antennas with a squiggly line going in one direction is currently either transmitting or receiving data

    – antennas with a sine wave line have carrier lock but aren’t transmitting or receiving (not shown)

    – details about the comms for the selected antenna are shown in the panel at the bottom of the page

    you can see in the attached pic that antennas DSS-54 & DSS-56 at #MDSCC (the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex) are currently communicating with ArtemisII – 54 is both Tx & Rx on S-band & 56 is Rx on S-band and data rates look great
     
     
     
    ^ I say “mostly” ‘coz “DSN” usually means testing or maintaining – one or two antennas may be undergoing maintenance atm rather than supporting ArtemisII, I don’t have complete visibility of the antenna schedule 💁‍♀️

  6. successful handover to #DSN, w00t! 🎉

  8. #Austria’s counter-intelligence can do little: under Austrian law, #espionage cannot be prosecuted unless it is carried out against national interest. Despite the #DSN’s recommendations, Vienna has shown little interest in expelling diplomats or taking other measures against Russian operatives.

    The DSN provided the government with a list of people it knows operate #Russia’s secret signals #intelligence stations in #Vienna.”

    " Je fais du théâtre avec parfois des degrés de pessimisme. Comme dans la tragédie grecque. Je mets le pessimisme dans le théâtre pour garder l’optimisme dans la vie". Entretien avec Tiago Rodrigues, dramaturge et metteur en scène, directeur du festival d'Avignon.

    Il évoque ses deux pièces "Chœur des amants", jouée à la scène nationale de Dieppe et "La Distance", présentée au Volcan au Havre.

  11. Star trackers 🎇 are known for their accuracy, making them indispensable for #DeepSpace missions, where other reference points might not be available. They capture images of the night sky, comparing them to an onboard star map 🌌.

  16. Here is a fascinating time-lapse video of the full construction, assembly and installation of NASA’s Deep Space Station 53 (DSS-53) at the Deep Space Network’s Madrid complex in Spain.

    The video covers the period from November 2018 to March 2020. The antenna became fully operational in late February 2022.

  17. Construction of the new 34m antenna DSS-23 at NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) site at Goldstone, CA, is progressing well. On Dec 18, the 34-meter-wide 133-ton steel framework for the Deep Space Station 23 (DSS-23) reflector dish was installed on a 20-meter-high alidade – a platform above the antenna's pedestal that will steer the reflector during operations.

    The new antenna is expected to be operational in 2026.

  18. Today we're measuring on #DSN (Deep Space Network) frequencies with the Dwingeloo telescope. Here's a thread with some first results. We're starting off with Chinese Mars orbiter #Tianwen1.

  19. @uwuhaeckse #DSS43 📡 is the only antenna in the #NASA #DSN that talks to #VGR2 🛰️ because its flight trajectory had it head off ‘below’ the plane of the ecliptic (‘south’ from earth’s perspective), and 43 is the only antenna in the southern hemisphere powerful enough to communicate with it. The 70m antennas in the northern hemisphere don’t have line-of-sight, but even if they did they could only receive data 😢

    #VGR1 headed off ‘above’ the plane of the ecliptic, so all the 70m DSN antennas have line of sight & can all still Rx. but for Tx we need to use 43 ‘coz it’s the only 70m with a 100kW S-Band transmitter that has enough juice to send commands to the spacecraft. Rx from VGR1 is handled by arraying multiple antennas to create a larger effective (virtual) dish size, ‘coz it’s further away than VGR2 - remember that these spacecraft only have transmitters that push out ~23W (rated output, I expect they’ve fallen off a little over time). by the time it reaches earth, the signal Is about a billionth of a billionth of a watt (attowat) 🤯 that’s why they ask you to turn off devices 🚫📻 to “help us listen to whispers from space” 🤫

    "I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to put up #CubeSats with #ArtemisI." 8 CubeSats were tracked with DSN. But limited resources and only so many antennas, DSN had to turn away from NASA's other science missions to focus on #Orion #spacecraft and CubeSats flying with it. arstechnica.com/space/2023/08/

    capabilities, which will be critical to communicate with #astronauts 👨‍🚀👩‍🚀 traveling to #Mars 🔴). NASA cannot use #RadioFrequency communications to carry higher data rates like those required for Mars without increasing
    the size of its antennas 📡 or power of its radio transmitters. Therefore, the Agency is developing #optical communications (use
