title:
18) DSN - Australia:
Description:
Odyssey will communicate with Earth through the Deep Space Network, a global network of antennas that allow us to send commands to the spacecraft and receive data back from it. During the first two months of cruise, only the DSN station in Canberra, Australia will be capable of viewing the spacecraft. Late in May, California's Goldstone station will come into view, and by early June the Madrid station will also be able to track the spacecraft. The project has also added the use of a tracking station in Santiago, Chile to fill in tracking coverage early in the mission.
