Exploration, Information Systems - HMP 2002

About PlanetNet2 Our satellite dish.

PlanetNet2 is the next-generation of technology being tested by the Canadian Space Agency-funded MarsCanada project, led by Simon Fraser University. The technology is being investigated for long-range, high-bandwidth, non-line of sight communication for planetary exploration. Radio technology is integrated with satellite communications technology to provide for high-quality interaction with researchers in the field.

MarsCanada is a project studying the exploration technology needs for planetary exploration, by supporting exploration of planetary analogues on Earth. Technologies range from radio and satellite communications to advanced computing systems, and on to next-generation voice-based and other sophisticated human interface technologies.
