Deep space communications technology thrustsThe paper discusses the technology thrusts that are currently being developed for deep space missions as well as the expected dividends of these thrusts during the 1990's and beyond. Particular attention is given to Ka-band (32 GHz) development, channel coding, source coding, and optical communications. The ongoing development described here attempts to meet the telecommunications demands of future missions by stressing cooperative developments between ground networks and flight projects in order to optimize NASA's overall investment in solar system investment.
