Researchers in China have developed deep-space communications processing algorithms that will allow scientists to pinpoint probes with remarkable, meter-level precision as far as 180 million kilometers from Earth | AI News Digest
Researchers in China have developed innovative deep-space communications processing algorithms that enable scientists to locate probes with meter-level precision up to 180 million kilometers from Earth. This advancement is crucial as deep-space missions continue to expand, with several launches planned for 2026. The new Legendre Sequence Ranging Codes (LS codes) significantly enhance the ability to track spacecraft over vast distances, outperforming existing codes by measuring distances up to 2,375 times further. This technology promises to simplify communication with distant probes, allowing for faster navigation during critical operations. The researchers plan to test these codes in laboratories before proposing them for future space missions.
