This is unofficial application for live monitoring the NASA Deep Space Network Now.
The NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) is a global system of large antennas and communication facilities used to track, send commands, and receive data from spacecraft exploring deep space. Operated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the DSN supports missions to the Moon, Mars, outer planets, and beyond, including the Voyager, Perseverance, and James Webb Space Telescope.
- Live monitoring with real-time, detailed data. Data updates are almost instantaneous.
- Display targets being tracked by the stations. You can visualize the current target, distance, and round-trip light time value.
- Display up and down signals for each station. You can observe the signal strength, frequency, data rate, and modulation type.
- Interactive. You can select a station, antenna, current target, and both types of signals.
- Informative. You can access detailed information about the station, antenna, target, and signals.
