Abstract

The Deep Space Network (DSN) is responsible for the acquisition of in-situ science and engineering measurements and navigation data from spacecraft exploring the Solar System. Key characteristics of the DSN design approach, the costs to upgrade performance over the past several decades, and some fundamental constraints on performance are discussed. The specific 70-meter upgrade task and the resulting overall benefits to Voyager-Neptune and the mission set are addressed.
