The U.S. Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System ( TDRSS, pronounced "T-driss") is a network of American communications satellites (each called a tracking and data relay satellite, TDRS) and ground stations used by NASA for space communications. The system was designed to replace an existing network of ground stations that had supported all of ...
Europa Clipper →. Double Asteroid Redirection Test ( DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). [ 4 ][ 5 ] It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through its transfer of momentum when hitting the asteroid head-on. [ 6 ]
The Parker Solar Probe(PSP; previously Solar Probe, Solar Probe Plusor Solar Probe+)[6]is a NASAspace probelaunched in 2018 with the mission of making observations of the outer coronaof the Sun. It will approach to within 9.86 solar radii(6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles)[7][8]from the center of the Sun, and by 2025 will travel, at closest ...
NASA's tracker map allows you to see where the solar eclipse is at this moment. Tap "LIVE" when the map loads up to see exactly where the eclipse is in real time. NASA is tracking the location of ...
Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, as part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System and the interstellar space beyond the Sun's heliosphere. It was launched 16 days after its twin, Voyager 2.
Forecasters will soon be able to see real-time mapping of lightning activity on Earth and keep a closer eye on solar storms unleashed by the sun thanks to a new weather satellite. Together, NASA ...
According to a 1975 NASA report, the DSN was designed to communicate with "spacecraft traveling approximately 16,000 km (10,000 miles) from Earth to the farthest planets of the solar system." [ 10 ] JPL diagrams [ 11 ] state that at an altitude of 30,000 km (19,000 mi), a spacecraft is always in the field of view of one of the tracking stations.
Solar Terrestrial Probes program. ← Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission. The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a heliophysics mission that will simultaneously investigate two important and coupled science topics in the heliosphere: the acceleration of energetic particles and interaction of the solar wind with the local ...
