Take a 360-degree look at the network of satellites that helps more than 40 NASA missions transmit their data to Earth. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) form a constellation around Earth and work together with ground stations in White Sands, New Mexico, and Guam to communicate data.
The TDRS project is building the follow-on and replacement spacecraft necessary to maintain and expand NASA’s Space Network. The third satellite of the third generation, TDRS-M, is set to launch in August 2017. TDRS-M will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard an Atlas V rocket. This satellite will join a constellation of space-based communications satellites providing tracking, telemetry, command and high-bandwidth data return services.
