How We Talk to Mars Rovers & Deep-Space Probes (NASA Deep Space Network Explained)
Deep space communication explained: how NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) talks to spacecraft millions of miles away — Mars rovers, Voyager, New Horizons — using radio signals at (nearly) the speed of light. Why a single space probe photo can take hours or even days to download (low bandwidth, weak signal, high noise) — and what really limits data rates across the Solar System.

What’s in the video:

Why shouting from Earth is easier than replying from a tiny spacecraft

How limited onboard power (solar arrays, RTGs) constrains communication, especially at the edge of the Solar System

Earth’s technogenic noise vs. the “electromagnetic quiet” of space

Inverse-square law: why received signal strength plummets with distance

Why we build giant dishes and use multiple antennas to confirm real signals

Why data rate drops as distance grows (bandwidth, SNR, link budget, coding)

Why images can take hours/days to arrive (example: New Horizons)

Which mission should we break down next — Mars rovers or far-flung probes? Tell us in the comments!
