Para la NASA, sus socios comerciales y otras agencias espaciales globales, esta expansi\u00f3n significa comunicaciones espaciales m\u00e1s confiables con menos gastos. El programa SCaN de la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional de Aeron\u00e1utica y del Espacio (NASA) se asoci\u00f3 con KSAT para optimizar la Red de Espacio Cercano mediante la modernizaci\u00f3n de la antena Troll en la Ant\u00e1rtida para la \u00f3rbita polar de la misi\u00f3n SPHEREx. Esta conexi\u00f3n virtual elimin\u00f3 la necesidad de costosos cables submarinos de fibra \u00f3ptica. SPHEREx ahora transmite datos cient\u00edficos diarios a trav\u00e9s de la antena Troll a la red satelital de KSAT, que los reenv\u00eda a DAPHNE+. All\u00ed, los datos se almacenan, procesan y se hacen accesibles en una ubicaci\u00f3n centralizada, simplificando las operaciones y reduciendo costos.<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON –<\/strong>\u00a0NASA is partnering with commercial industry to expand our knowledge of Earth, our solar system, and beyond. Recently, NASA collaborated with Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) to support data transfer for the agency\u2019s SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) mission to explore the origins of the universe, Korine Powers writes for NASA.\u00a0Continue reading original article.<\/a><\/p>\n The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:<\/strong><\/p>\n 14 May 2025 –\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cNot only is NASA moving toward commercialization, the agency is making technological advancements to existing systems and saving millions of dollars in the process \u2014 all while expanding human knowledge through science and exploration missions,\u201d said Kevin Coggins, associate administrator for NASA\u2019s SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation) program.<\/p>\n The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) SCaN program partnered with KSAT to enhance the Near Space Network by upgrading the Troll antenna in Antarctica for the SPHEREx mission\u2019s polar orbit. KSAT integrated its own cloud system, which NASA linked to its DAPHNE+ cloud for streamlined data management. This virtual connection eliminated the need for costly undersea fiberoptic cables. SPHEREx now transmits daily science data through the Troll antenna to KSAT\u2019s satellite network, which forwards it to DAPHNE+. There, the data is stored, processed, and made accessible in a centralized location, simplifying operations and reducing costs.<\/p>\n
