18) DSN - Australia: Odyssey will communicate with Earth
through the Deep Space Network, a global network of antennas
that allow us to send commands to the spacecraft and receive
data back from it. During the first two months of cruise, only the
DSN station in Canberra, Australia will be capable of viewing the
spacecraft. Late in May, California's Goldstone station will come
into view, and by early June the Madrid station will also be able
to track the spacecraft. The project has also added the use of a
tracking station in Santiago, Chile to fill in tracking coverage
early in the mission. |
