During the landing phase, the MarCO CubeSats were positioned in orbit around Mars and directed their high-gain antennas towards the InSight lander, which was transmitting data to the CubeSats. The CubeSats then transmitted the data to Earth in real-time, allowing the mission team to monitor the landing as it happened.

 

To ensure reliable communication, the MarCO CubeSats were equipped with redundancy systems, which included multiple radios and antennas. This ensured that even if one of the radios or antennas failed, the CubeSats could still communicate with the InSight lander and Earth.

 

Overall, the success of the MarCO mission in achieving real-time communication relay during the InSight landing on Mars was a significant achievement in interplanetary communication. The mission demonstrated the potential for CubeSats to be used for communication relay during lander and rover missions, and paved the way for future interplanetary missions that rely on real-time communication with Earth.

 

Time Delay

Question Asked: Was there any time-delay?

 

Answered by Chat GPT: Yes, there was a time delay in the communication between the MarCO CubeSats and the mission team on Earth during the InSight landing on Mars. This delay is due to the vast distance between Mars and Earth, which varies depending on the position of the two planets in their respective orbits.

 

The distance between Mars and Earth varies between approximately 56 million kilometres (34.8 million miles) when the planets are at their closest approach, to approximately 401 million kilometres (249 million miles) when they are at their farthest point. As a result, the time delay between communication between Mars and Earth can vary between a few minutes to over 20 minutes, depending on the distance between the two planets.

 

During the InSight landing on Mars, the time delay between communication between the MarCO CubeSats and the mission team on Earth was approximately 8 minutes, as Mars was approximately 54 million kilometres (33.5 million miles) away from Earth at the time. This means that any data or information received by the mission team during the landing had already occurred on Mars 8 minutes prior.

 

Despite the time delay, the real-time communication relay provided by the MarCO CubeSats was still considered a significant achievement, as it allowed the mission team to monitor the landing in near real-time and receive important information on the success of the landing. The real-time communication capability provided by the CubeSats also enabled the mission team to quickly respond to any unexpected events during the landing process.

Session 2 Conversation With Chat GPT 28 February 2023

Question Asked: Summarise our conversation so far.

 

Answered by Chat GPT: Sure! So far, we've had a conversation about interplanetary communication networks, discussing topics such as the history of space exploration, the development of CubeSats and their uses, the potential for future advancements in interplanetary communication, and the challenges and considerations that would need to be addressed if non-earth sentient life were to be discovered through the interplanetary communication network. We also talked about the potential team and leadership requirements, the financial and international coordination needed, and the potential limitations of such a network.

 

CubeSat Standard

Question Asked: Professor Jordi Puig-Suari is known for his contributions to the development of the CubeSat standard. Could you describe what the standard sets out and why?

 

Answered by Chat GPT: Certainly! The CubeSat standard is a set of specifications and guidelines for building small satellites that are based on a modular design. The standard was first developed by Professor Jordi Puig-Suari of California Polytechnic State University, along with Professor Bob Twiggs of Stanford University, in the late 1990s.

 

The CubeSat standard sets out a number of design specifications for small satellites, including the dimensions of the satellite, the materials used to construct it, the electrical and mechanical interfaces, and the deployment mechanism. The standard also specifies that CubeSats should be built to fit within a standard-sized deployer, which makes it easier and more cost-effective to launch multiple CubeSats at once.

 

The CubeSat standard was developed with the goal of making space exploration more accessible and affordable to a wider range of organisations, including universities, research institutions, and private companies. By providing a standardised design for small satellites, the CubeSat standard has made it easier and more cost-effective to build and launch satellites into space, which has in turn opened up new opportunities for scientific research, technology development, and space exploration.

 

Overall, the CubeSat standard has had a significant impact on the field of space exploration, making it more accessible to a wider range of organisations and enabling new scientific discoveries and technological advancements.

 

Best Transmission Protocols & Frequencies

Question Asked: You have previously explained the time delay between Mars and Earth effectively. Imagine and theorise how an Interplanetary Communication system could permanently overcome the problem of time-differences of communication, caused by the two planets being constantly at differing spatial differences.

 

Answered by Chat GPT: Overcoming the problem of time differences in interplanetary communication would require the development of advanced communication technologies and systems that are able to adapt to the changing distances between Earth and Mars.

 

One potential solution would be to use a combination of different communication protocols, including laser-based communication systems and radio frequency communication systems. Laser-based communication systems have the potential to transmit data at much higher rates than radio frequency communication systems, but they require a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, which can be difficult to maintain over long distances in space. Radio frequency communication systems, on the other hand, are able to maintain communication over longer distances, but they have lower data rates.

 

To address these challenges, a hybrid communication system could be developed that combines laser-based and radio frequency communication technologies. This could be achieved by using laser-based communication systems for high-speed data transmission over short distances, and then switching to radio frequency communication systems for longer-distance communication.

 

Another key consideration would be the need for advanced modelling and analysis tools that can predict the changing conditions in space, including the distances between Earth and Mars and the potential for interference from solar flares and other space weather events. These models could be used to identify the best transmission protocols and frequencies, as well as to adjust the communication system's settings based on changing conditions in space.

 

Finally, the bandwidth and type of transceivers needed would depend on the specific requirements of the communication system. In general, high-bandwidth transceivers with advanced modulation and coding techniques would be needed to achieve high data rates, while low-bandwidth transceivers with more robust error correction and detection techniques would be needed for longer-range communication.

 

Overall, developing an interplanetary communication system that can overcome the challenges of time differences in communication would require significant investment in advanced communication technologies, modelling and analysis tools, and research and development efforts. However, by building on the existing CubeSat standard and leveraging the latest advances in communication technology, it may be possible to achieve reliable and efficient communication between Earth and Mars, and other celestial bodies, in the future.
