NASA upgrades Deep Space Network after Artemis II communications pause

NASA's Deep Space Network experienced a pause during the Artemis II mission. The interruption followed a previous overload incident. Engineers identified weaknesses that could affect communications. New protocols have been introduced to prevent future bottlenecks. Upgraded hardware and software aim to increase bandwidth. Mission controllers will test the changes before the next flight. The improvements are intended to ensure reliable contact with deep‑space probes. NASA will monitor performance during upcoming missions.
