Deep Space Communications
by Jim Taylor
This book presents the planetary communications design as developed by the Deep Space Network (DSN) and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) flight projects. It uses a case study approach and shows the communications link performance resulting from the design. This is accomplished through a description of the design and performance of six representative planetary missions. These six cases illustrate progression through time of the DSN and onboard hardware and software techniques, capabilities, and performance from 1970s technology to the most recent missions.

The first chapter presents an overview of deep space communication capability over the last five decades. It also describes the design process for these links and the current capabilities of the Deep Space Network (DSN). The second chapter gives an overview of the DSN. In Chapters 3 through 8, from Voyager in the 1970s to the Mars Science Laboratory in the 2010s, the six missions represent all those that have communicated directly with the Deep Space Network.
