the important #ArtemisII numbers from #NASA’s #DSN 🎉 👀
RANGE
412.00 thousand km
ROUND-TRIP LIGHT TIME
2.75 sec
🌏📡~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🛰️ 🌒
DSS-43 & DSS-34 are both communicating with #Artemis on S-band:
DSS-43 has downlink @ 3Mb/sec and -110 dBm
DSS-34 has downlink and uplink
(not shown: at the time this screenshot was taken DSS-34 had downlink @ 3Mb/sec and -110 dBm & it’s uplink was transmitting @ 0.2 kW
fantastic work by everyone out at #CDSCC and the rest of the DSN 👏👏👏
This is how NASA stays in touch with various missions in and out of the solar system...
it looks like DSS-43 & DSS-34 out at #CDSCC^ are setting up to communicate with #ArtemisII during their ##TLI burn @ 10:49 local time (AEDT)… 👀
ETA: it looks like the DSN will just be watching & waiting as #Orion has switched back to #TDRS for the TLI burn – I’m guessing DSN is pointed & tracking Orion on standby in case they’re needed (🤞 not)

^ the #Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex
note: #DSN uses a “follow the sun” approach for operating antennas, so the antennas at #MDSCC in #Madrid are currently being operated by the ops team at #CDSCC in #Canberra since it’s day time here in #Aus & night time in Spain 🙃
normally there’s only a skeleton maintenance crew on site at the Deep Space Communication Complexes overnight but I expect there are some additional staff on site (or on call) just in case for such important mission support
you can see what’s happening on the #DSN Now website, part of #NASA’s #EyesOn visualisation tools
https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now/dsn.html
antennas showing “ART2” are currently in direct comms with #ArtemisII & antennas showing “DSN” are mostly^ tasked to #Artemis mission support but not currently communicating with the spacecraft
– antennas with “squiggly lines” going in both directions are both transmitting & receiving data (Tx & Rx)
– antennas with a squiggly line going in one direction is currently either transmitting or receiving data
– antennas with a sine wave line have carrier lock but aren’t transmitting or receiving (not shown)
– details about the comms for the selected antenna are shown in the panel at the bottom of the page
you can see in the attached pic that antennas DSS-54 & DSS-56 at #MDSCC (the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex) are currently communicating with ArtemisII – 54 is both Tx & Rx on S-band & 56 is Rx on S-band and data rates look great
^ I say “mostly” ‘coz “DSN” usually means testing or maintaining – one or two antennas may be undergoing maintenance atm rather than supporting ArtemisII, I don’t have complete visibility of the antenna schedule 💁♀️
comms will switch over from #TDRS to the #DeepSpaceNetwork soon – sending good vibes to [@]nascom1 & my other friends in #DSN spacecraft ops out at the #CDSCC in Tidbinbilla who are about to take the reins 💕 🖖
you can dive into some amazing historical skeets & tweets from [@]nascom1 over at https://bsky.app/profile/nascom1.bsky.social & https://x.com/nascom1
“#Austria’s counter-intelligence can do little: under Austrian law, #espionage cannot be prosecuted unless it is carried out against national interest. Despite the #DSN’s recommendations, Vienna has shown little interest in expelling diplomats or taking other measures against Russian operatives.
The DSN provided the government with a list of people it knows operate #Russia’s secret signals #intelligence stations in #Vienna.”

[THÉÂTRE]
" Je fais du théâtre avec parfois des degrés de pessimisme. Comme dans la tragédie grecque. Je mets le pessimisme dans le théâtre pour garder l’optimisme dans la vie". Entretien avec Tiago Rodrigues, dramaturge et metteur en scène, directeur du festival d'Avignon.
Il évoque ses deux pièces "Chœur des amants", jouée à la scène nationale de Dieppe et "La Distance", présentée au Volcan au Havre.
