International Space Station (ISS), Use of key technologies and strategies It can communicate with the world successfully and continuously.

Come to the International Space Station, which is miles away how it communicates, Let’s explore it together through the technologies it uses.

There is a TDRS network.

NASA’s TDRS network provides constant communication between the International Space Station and Earth. The TDRS satellite network is in high orbits and the station is constantly moving enables communication with at least one satellite know.

In addition, there are several ground stations around the world, TDRS It works as a network supplement and communicates via radio frequencies. It carries out.

It has a high-speed track.

Because the International Space Station’s high-speed orbit around Earth takes it constantly over different parts of the Earth always stay in contact with ground communications systems offers.

In addition, the data from the International Space Station is packaged and transmitted at regular intervals. If there is a loss of connection, the data is temporarily stored It will be resent when the connection is restored.

They have tapes and backup systems.

The International Space Station uses two radio frequencies: “Ku Band” and “S Band”. Ku transmits data while S transmits speech. So the International Space Station high speed voice data transmission ensures continuity.

In addition, the communication systems were designed in such a way that in the event of a failure, other backup systems would be activated. Thanks to all these technologies, ISS can no matter how far Communication takes place without interruption.
