Deep Space Systems, Inc (DSS) is a private aerospace company dedicated to systems engineering that supports the design, development, integration, testing and operations of science and exploration spacecraft. DSS was incorporated in 2001 and it is based at Littleton, Colorado, United States. [2] Its Founder and President is Steve Bailey. [3]
Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft. At present the farthest space probe humankind has constructed and launched from Earth is Voyager 1 , which was announced on December 5, 2011, [ 2 ] to have reached the outer edge of the Solar System , [ 3 ] and entered ...
The NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide network of spacecraft communication ground segment facilities, located in the United States (California), Spain , and Australia (Canberra), that supports NASA's interplanetary spacecraft missions.
The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter. ... through the agency’s Deep Space Network. The system of radio antennas on Earth helps the agency communicate with Voyager 1 and ...
Several space probes and the upper stages of their launch vehicles are leaving the Solar System, all of which were launched by NASA. Three of the probes, Voyager 1 , Voyager 2 , and New Horizons , are still functioning and are regularly contacted by radio communication, while Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 are now derelict.
Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) The Psyche mission will test a sophisticated new laser communication technology that encodes data in infrared-photons (rather than radio waves) to communicate with a probe in deep space from Earth. Using shorter wavelengths allows the spacecraft to transmit more data in a given amount of time.
Proposals by Bigelow Aerospace, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Orbital ATK, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Space Systems Loral, and Nanoracks to build the Deep Space Habitat – a spacecraft with a large enough living space for humans to travel to destinations such as Mars, near Earth asteroids, or cislunar space – all envisioned a launch aboard an SLS ...
The Deep Space Transport (DST), also called Mars Transit Vehicle, [6] is a crewed interplanetary spacecraft concept by NASA to support science exploration missions to Mars of up to 1,000 days. [ 4 ] [ 2 ] [ 7 ] It would be composed of two elements: an Orion capsule and a propelled habitation module. [ 3 ]
