NASA's Deep Space Network has a limited communications capacity.
For Artemis 1, she said, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland, which operates both JWST and the, rejiggered JWST's observing schedule. Scientists prioritized shorter observations, which create smaller batches of data, to reduce the chances of the telescope's computer filling up before the Deep Space Network can accept the next batch of data.
But because NASA plans additional Artemis launches — and these with humans aboard — in 2024 and beyond, scientists want a different solution to the communications logjam. "We are desperately asking NASA to come up with a plan to somehow have more access to antennas," López-Morales said.
