Deep Space Network Now

Deep Space Network Now

To keep in contact with the spacecraft exploring our solar system and the universe beyond, JPL operates a network of large radio antennas called the DSN. This online app will let you see what the DSN is up to right now, which antennas are in use, which spacecraft are talking to us, how quickly data is being received, and how long it takes a signal take to get there and back.

Rescue 406

Rescue 406

A distress call from an emergency beacon goes off somewhere in the world. Satellites orbiting high above Earth receive the signal and relay the person's location to search and rescue crews on the ground. In this SciJinks mobile game, you will use the information from these satellites to direct the rescue effort.
