MILA Tracking Station Closes
MILA Tracking Station Closes
NASA retired most of their ground stations long ago when the TDRSS geosync Ku-band satellites were placed in orbit. However you still need ground stations to receive the TDRSS downlink. Also, commercial is going to have to rely on someone's tracking network, mostly likely NASA's.
The MILA tracking station at Kennedy Space Center is closing after 45 years supporting NASA launches.Thats true but I'm just portraying what congress thinks ^^Congress just doesn't give a brown turd about spaceflight because it's nothing profitable(yet) But once Europe China and Russia start launching their rockets to mars and the moon I'm sure America will jump on the bandwagon saying they are the number 1 best country in the world XD
