  1. It’s not clear how long #MDSCC will be out of service or how that will affect spacecraft operations. The #DSN was already suffering from a capacity crunch due to increasing demand for spacecraft communications, exacerbated by damage to the 70-meter antenna at #Goldstone that has taken it out of service until 2028 for repairs and upgrades spacenews.com/nasa-and-esa-fac

  6. The 70-meter and 34-meter dishes 📡 at the complex are not components that can be quickly replaced or repaired. A single 70-meter antenna's dish alone spans the area of a city block, its steerable mount is a precision engineering system requiring specialized components, and its internal cable wrap threads tens of thousands of meters of power cable, data lines, and fluid hoses through a rotating structure techtimes.com/articles/321564/

  11. 📡 #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 oig.nasa.gov/wp-content/upload

    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 👏👏👏

  29. 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)

  34. 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

    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 💁‍♀️
