This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. As deep-space probes continue to explore throughout the solar system and beyond, scientists on the ...

NASA has sent test data nearly 10 million miles (16 million kilometers), encoded on a near-infrared laser. The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment sent data to Earth from the Psyche ...

The mysterious “Wow!” signal from deep space, caused by a yet unknown astronomical event, was much stronger than previously thought, a new study suggests. “Wow!” is the name given to the enigmatic and ...

Astronomers believe they’ve uncovered the source behind mysterious cosmic signals known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs) — and it adds a grim twist to our understanding of the death of stars. Right as ...

NASA monitors MAVEN spacecraft after December 6 signal loss, coordinating recovery with Deep Space Network. Mars solar conjunction from December 29 to January 16 will pause communications.

A strange sound from deep space was picked up by astronomers here on Earth the other day. And it apparently took them about eight million years to reach us. According to Earth.com, astronomers from ...

"Considering the direction and frequency of our most common signals gives insights into where we should be looking to improve our chances of detecting alien technosignatures." When you purchase ...

On March 19, one of NASA's Deep Space Network facilities — located in Canberra, Australia — entered its 60th year of relaying priceless information between scientists on Earth and the spacecraft they ...

Deep space communication protocols serve as the backbone of interplanetary data exchange, where vast distances and significant signal delays demand robust and adaptive transmission techniques.
