to Earth ?

The data rate of one of the deep space satellites - I don't remember
which but it may have been Voyager - for the omni antenna, was only 40
bits per second. And that was really difficult to dig out of the
noise, requiring cyro cooled receivers and integrators to get rid of
the noise. And the high gain directional antenna was something like
1200 bits per second, again with great receiving difficulty. Usually
the ground based receivers required a huge dish like the ones at
Goldstone. Hey, you'd be a weak signal, too, if you travelled a
couple hundred million miles!!

Don't be ripped off by the big book dealers. Go to the URL
that will give you a choice and save you money(up to half).

I went to http://www.nasa.gov, and was immediately redirected to some
kind of marketting blurb-video for "M2K4". After waiting for that to
download on my phone line, I got to
http://origin.mars5.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/, which links to a number of
wannabe sound bytes with no more information than you would get from a
decent picture.

The site is aimed at American public school teachers and students, so
I guess the details are irrelevant. Perhaps the facts are irrelevent,
too.

I left a post the other day with the data rates, and some URLs that
gave them. The fallback mode data rates were 32 and 7 bits per
second, but I read that they are now comm'ing at 120 bps. The direct
to earth xmissions were between 3500 and 12000 bits per second.
Here's an article about it.
