Preparing for the 90s using today's communications assetsSuch existing NASA/U.S. facilities and spacecraft as those of the Deep Space Network, VLA, and Arecibo are presently judged capable, at modest additional investment during the next five years, to acquire unique space science data, to generate mission planning data for missions to be launched in the early 1990s, and to evaluate and demonstrate communications and navigation technology for missions of the late 1990s and beyond. The more ambitious of these efforts will contribute the continuation of space research attractiveness for students, as well as furnish an important part of their scientific training.
