美国国家航天局（NASA）深空探测网（Deep Space Network）的新型戈尔德斯通天线投入使用

描述

Description

2026年8月，位于加利福尼亚州巴斯托附近深空探测网（Deep Space Network, DSN）戈尔德斯通综合设施内，刚完工的深空站（Deep Space Station, DSS）23投下了长长的阴影。作为一座34米（114英尺）的多频束波导（beam waveguide）天线，DSS-23将在未来几十年内提升DSN的容量，并增强NASA的深空（deep space）通信能力。

Long shadows are cast by the recently completed Deep Space Station 23 at the Deep Space Network’s Goldstone complex near Barstow, California, in August 2026. A 34-meter (114-foot) multifrequency beam-waveguide antenna, DSS-23 will boost the DSN’s capacity and enhance NASA’s deep space communications capabilities for decades to come.

2026年8月25日，NASA领导层、工作人员及政要齐聚完工的DSS-23天线现场，举行了剪彩仪式。这是深空探测网孔径增强项目（Aperture Enhancement Project）最新增加的天线，该项目始于2009年，旨在通过增设六座全新的34米多频束波导天线来升级和扩展该网络。这些功能多样的深空探测网碟形天线能够增强许多在不同射频（radio frequency）下运行的任务。

NASA leadership and personnel as well as dignitaries gathered at the complete DSS-23 antenna for a ceremonial ribbon cutting on Aug. 25, 2026. It’s the latest antenna to be added as part of the Deep Space Network’s Aperture Enhancement Project, which began in 2009 to upgrade and expand the network by adding six new 34-meter multifrequency beam-waveguide antennas. These versatile Deep Space Network dishes can enhance many missions operating over different radio frequencies.

DSN允许任务对遥远的航天器进行跟踪、发送指令并接收科学数据。该网络由位于南加州的NASA喷气推进实验室（Jet Propulsion Laboratory, JPL，加州理工学院的一个部门）管理，服务于该机构的空间通信与导航（SCaN）项目，该项目隶属于NASA总部的研究与技术任务理事会。

The DSN allows missions to track, send commands to, and receive scientific data from faraway spacecraft. It is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech, in Southern California for the agency’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program, which is located at NASA Headquarters within the Research and Technology Mission Directorate.
