Scientific paper
Communication technology for deep-space scientific missions is surveyed, with a focus on systems being developed for Galileo, a NASA orbiter/probe mission to Jupiter. The problems faced in designing the links from the probe (descending into the Jovian atmosphere) to the orbiter and from the orbiter to earth are examined; the technological solutions adopted for Galileo are discussed; the expansion of the Deep Space Network for the mission is described; the advantages and limitations of cm-band communication systems being considered to meet the data-rate requirements of future deep-space missions are outlined; and the potential of optical communication for the 21st century is indicated. Also included are tables listing past and planned deep-space missions and a brief description of the use of spacecraft radio signals by radio and planetary scientists to probe solar-system plasmas and gravitational fields.
