#SIGNAL WEB ONLINE SERIES#
In-depth reports on the communication subsystems of many of the JPL-led missions with which the DSN has communicated are available at the the DESCANSO Design and Performance summary series page. More information is also available at the Canberra Deep Space Communications Center and the Madrid Deep Space Communications Center. General information on the DSN is available at the DSN Website. In some instances, testing of hardware that was customized for a long-finished mission may cause a ‘phantom’ spacecraft to appear on DSN Now, such as Cassini. No estimates, predictions or best case scenarios. These are names the engineers apply to the test they’re conducting so data can be tracked through the subsystems that support DSN operations. The Opensignal app helps you accurately measure the everyday experience you receive on your mobile network. These may trigger a flow of data suggesting the antenna is preparing to talk to a non-existent spacecraft such as DOUG or SHAN. When this occurs, engineers ask the antenna to ‘drop lock’ and the hunt for the spacecraft continues.Įngineers occasionally need to conduct system tests with an antenna or its subsystems. For example, attempts to recover the Opportunity Rover (MERB) may appear successful when the antenna has actually locked on to a signal from one of the orbiters around Mars such as MAVEN or MRO. This is particularly common with spacecraft at Mars as multiple spacecraft are within the field of view of a single DSN antenna. While the ground station is searching for a signal, it may ‘lock on’ to a signal from a different spacecraft and wrongly identify it as the spacecraft being searched for. In off-nominal scenarios when a project may be attempting to recover a spacecraft that is in safe mode or experiencing other operational challenges, an antenna may wrongly report that is receiving data from the spacecraft in question. If all the antenna of one or more of the three complexes are showing no activity it may be a ‘global downtime’ maintenance activity or a temporary glitch in the pipeline of data to DSN Now.
