The present analysis of the use of a 32-GHz (Ka-band) downlink for deep space communications notes significant benefits over current standard 8.4-GHz downlinks; the consequences of the 8-dB telemetry performance gain thus obtained is presently evaluated for the case of the Cassini and Mars Sample Return missions. This potential can only be realized, however, with upgradings of both the ground stations in the Deep Space Network and the spacecraft communications subsystem. Proposals are made for the use of a Ka-band beacon on the Mars observer spacecraft, as well as the demonstration of such a system aboard the CRAF.
