Deep Space Network

NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are causing significant disruption for astronomers worldwide. Scientists from the Netherlands, particularly the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON), have reported that the growing network of Starlink satellites is interfering with radio waves used for vital space research. The satellites, designed to p...

On June 27th, asteroid 2011 UL21 made its closest recorded approach to Earth, passing by at a safe distance of 17 times the Earth-Moon distance.

On February 3, the asteroid came quite close to Earth before leaving at a safe distance of 1.1 million miles (1.8 million kilometers).

The network will build the war chest in the coming months to invest across sectors in early-stage startups with special focus on healthtech, agritech, deep tech, and cleantech space, FAAD said.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is continuing its attempt to reach out to India's moon lander sending communication signals with its Deep Space Network (DSN), said officials.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has gone silent, ending an 11-year-old historic mission to explore the two largest bodies in the main asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres, the US space agency said.

Cassini's first-ever dive through the narrow gap between the planet Saturn and its rings on April 26 was successful and the spacecraft is now in the process of beaming back science and engineering data collected during its passage, NASA said on Thursday.

"Our rapid recovery was supported by other NASA missions that provided New Horizons with some of their valuable Deep Space Network antenna time."

NASA scientists have generated the highest-resolution images to date of an Asteroid that will safely fly past Earth on the Christmas eve at a distance of 11 million km.

With an increasing number of space missions bound for Mars, NASA is now making efforts to avoid a traffic jam.

NASA scientists have captured a peanut-shaped asteroid that approached close to Earth last weekend. The next time an asteroid will approach Earth this close will be in 2054.

The asteroid that flew past the Earth January 26 has its own small moon, NASA said.

ISRO today said India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) on October 28 was on schedule, dismissing suggestions that NASA may not be in a position to offer it deep space network support following government shutdown in the US.
