NASA satellite space communication receivers on Earth need 90 degrees apart

As we spend on understanding this solar system, galaxies, and the universe, so is the amount of data we collect during research and research. One of the challenges we face is to pass all data back to Earth from our space probes, detectors and asteroid exploration missions. Sending information from space probes and spacecraft to satellites to other space-based devices is easier than sending information back to a rotating planet because it travels around our nearest star.

We are currently working, but in strict accordance with the powerful approach we need, because we significantly increase the amount of information and the speed at which information is collected, and/or need it to process imaging data, or to understand what we are watching.

There is an interesting article in the Aerospace and Technology Brief. Published in the April 2018 edition, titled; "Space Communication: Deep Topics", noted;

"The DSN [Deep Space [Communication] Network] consists of three transmission and reception facilities: the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California; the Madrid [Spain] Deep Space Communications Complex; and Canberra [Australia] Deep Space Communications Complex. 120 degrees To meet growing demand, NASA stated that DSN must add more than 10 X per year over the next 30 years to achieve 200 Mb / s data for 2022 and 20 Gb / s Rate. By 2030."

If we separate these receivers from the transmitter [3] x by 120 degrees [equal to 360 degrees], then when they switch to the next station, we end up passing too much atmosphere at those shallow angles. This can lead to difficulties in reducing communication speed at critical switching points, which poses a serious challenge. The closer the Earth's atmosphere that the communication wave must propagate is to the vertical angle, the less static, the less the error, and the faster the speed. In the best of the world, it's best to add three more sites between the current stations, which will help us have a long way to go before NASA sets the goals for the necessary data speed.

Even if we have more orbital communication satellites to transmit data, we still need to pass the atmosphere to slow down the transmission speed. Think about a lot of data? From Mars probes, space telescope images, deep space detector videos, video near-Earth objects, other planets, solar activity, and even beyond our solar system. The article points out that we need optical data transmission [sending information through light] to increase the amount and speed of data, but we also need to put the receiver in the right place at the right time, look at my point of view?

If we use radio frequency, microwave or future light waves do not matter, we still need uninterrupted receivers and transmitters on the earth or more orbital relay satellites, or a combination of them. Please consider all of this and think about it.
