Maintaining reliable communication during space missions is critical. Future missions—especially crewed missions to Mars—are expected to generate far more data than current systems can handle. NASA's existing radiofrequency (RF)-based Deep Space Network (DSN), a global system of ground stations, could become a bottleneck as data demands grow....

Princeton University researchers have found a way to extend the near-field range for sub-terahertz wireless systems using off-the-shelf hardware. By using multiple synchronized arrays, the team achieved advanced near-field capabilities that were previously thought to require much larger and more expensive systems. Technologies using this high-frequency radio spectrum promise to...
