The Deep Space Network: Enabling Richer Data Sets for Future Solar & Space Physics Missions
From the first interplanetary spacecraft to current Heliophysics missions, the Deep Space Network has been integral to NASA Science. Several improvements have been implemented and are planned for the DSN. These improvements would enable the science described in community workshops and submitted white papers. However, without continued support, some of these planned improvements are at risk.
