New Receiver Will Boost Interplanetary Communication – Universe Today
As we explore the solar system, we’ll need an interplanetary communication network that can keep up. A new receiver might be up for the job.
If humans want to travel about the solar system, they’ll need to be able to communicate. As we look forward to crewed missions to the Moon and Mars, communication technology will pose a challenge we haven’t faced since the 1970s.
