Deep-space exploration is the branch of astronomy, astronautics, and space technology that is involved with exploring the distant regions of outer space. [1] However, little consensus has been reached on the meaning of "distant" regions. In some contexts, it …

May 24, 2023 · Space, outer space and deep space are used somewhat interchangeably in many contexts, but astronomers have come up with clear distinctions between them. So, what's the difference between them?

Welcome to "Deep Space Network Now" At three sites around the globe NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory operates a network of large radio antennas called the DSN. The DSN is used to keep in contact with the spacecraft exploring our solar system and the universe beyond.

Jul 12, 2022 · NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe so far. Webb’s First Deep Field is galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and it is teeming with thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in …

While maintaining American leadership in human and robotic lunar exploration NASA will build a global alliance to explore deep space as one. NASA and its partners will explore more of the Moon than ever before with highly trained astronauts and advanced robotics.

May 24, 2024 · The Deep Space Network—or DSN—is NASA’s international array of giant radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, plus a few that orbit Earth. The DSN also provides radar and radio astronomy observations that improve our understanding of the solar system and the larger universe.

NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) is an international network of facilities managed and operated by JPL's Interplanetary Network Directorate. The DSN supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, radio astronomy, radar astronomy and related observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe.
