NASA selected three companies on Wednesday to perform work to develop Ka-band space relay capability concepts that are compatible with current missions in space, ensuring service continuity for existing spacecraft without requiring modifications to their onboard systems. Facilitated through the agency’s SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation) program’s Communications Services Project, this work provides support for NASA’s decision to gradually retire the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite fleet and adopt commercial services for future missions.
