Amateurastronomen vinden Voyager 1 met de Dwingeloo radiotelescoop

De Dwingeloo-telescoop, die is ontworpen om signalen op lage frequenties waar te nemen, ontdekte eerder dit jaar het verste door mensen bereikte ruimtevaartuig toen die in de problemen kwam.

Meer activiteiten die met de Dwingeloo radiotelescoop worden gedaan vindt je via mastodon.nl/@radiotelescoop

Happy 51st B'day to Deep Space Station 43 (DSS43)! 📡

One of my fav antennas, and at 70m diameter, the largest steerable antenna in the Southern Hemisphere, located at @canberradsn

DSS43 keeps in touch with super important missions like Voyager2, only acquirable from this station!

Veteran #spacecraft shows signs of sanity with poke from engineers
On March 3, the mission team saw something different in the stream of data returned from the spacecraft, which had been unreadable since December.
An engineer with the #DeepSpaceNetwork (#DSN) was able to decode it, and by March 10, the team determined that it contained a complete memory dump from the Flight Data System (FDS).

An experimental antenna has received both radio frequency and near-infrared #laser signals from NASA’s #Psyche spacecraft as it travels through deep space: nasa.gov/technology/space-comm this shows it’s possible for the giant dish antennas of NASA’s #DeepSpaceNetwork (DSN), which communicate with spacecraft via radio waves, to be retrofitted for optical, or laser, communications.
