The Deep Space Network, or DSN, is an interconnected set of three radio telescope facilities spread across the globe.
Indeed, without the DSN, NASA’s robotic exploration of deep space would simply not be possible.
On the contrary, if humanity is going to once again venture into deep space, it will be crucial to be able to maintain a radio link with those intrepid explorers.
Both of those missions, indeed all deep space programs, depend on reliable communication, or they will fail.
The Deep Space Network is NASA’s link to the planets, and it needs additional support if we ever hope to boldly go where no one has gone before.
