Microsoftis among the largest technology companies in the world. The company operates in many areas and is among the most successful companies in these areas. Although most people do not know, the company also operates in the space field.
NASA in recent years James Webb Space TelescopeHe threw it into space. Communication with the space telescope is ongoing, and the telescope is being tracked. The communication role in this follow-up process NASAUnlike Microsoft, it’s taking over.
The James Webb Space Telescope has reached its operating point!
Launched to unravel the mysteries of the universe, the James Webb telescope has finally reached the point where it will be positioned. So what awaits us now?
Microsoft provides communication with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope!
Microsoft, Azure Quantum thanks to technology NASA’s communication with the James Webb Space Telescope provides. Azure Quantum, various quantum solutions and technologies It is a cloud service with Azure Quantum, the center of the world with spacecraft improve communication timing used for the purpose.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which has a network of radio antennas in California, Spain, and Australia to communicate with the spacecraft. Deep Space Network (DSN)It uses and communicates from here. Scheduling time in DSN is very complicated due to too many signals and various inconveniences.
Since DSN has antennas around the world, it can communicate with the spacecraft constantly. However, as the number of space missions and vehicles in space increases, become more complex is coming meet key communication demands It gets hard. This is where Microsoft Azure Quantum comes in. make scheduling simple brings.
When the Microsoft team first looked at the scheduling like 2 hours they recorded. Same process as Azure Quantum to about 16 minutes downloaded. In addition, this period with a special solution in 2 minutes also downloaded. Although this system has an impact on space communications, Microsoft your communication in the world thinks that it can accelerate with such technologies.
This isn’t the first time Microsoft has helped accelerate space missions. Before this HoloLens 2 NASA’s headphones 8 hours ongoing tasks to about 45 minutes had been downloaded. International Space Station It also uses Microsoft Azure for data processing. So, what are your thoughts? Do not forget to give your comments and opinions below.
