So you can actually book the DSN five years in advance? - I guess they must be using Outlook calendar then
Have you calculated which antennas in the DSN will be on the receiving side for the encounter? - Maybe some New Horizon mission members will volunteer a summer holiday to go and clean bat dung off the dishes... |

So you can actually book the DSN five years in advance? And further. Consider the Cassini launch.... the DSN was reserved for SOI and the Huygens entry at that time. It's not that you 'can' book it. You just do. There are many many documents about how the DSN is scheduled in the JPL tech reports server and the Descanso JPL website. They will know, now, what dishes are available for NH at key events 5 year from now. And they will also schedule maintenance to avoid having an antenna offline at a critical moment ( such as a flyby, a critical burn, a landing etc etc ) Volunteer? The projects pay...barely enough to keep the DSN running, but they do pay. The formulae for calculating the costs are in the last round of discovery program AO's. |
