Space Communications can be defined as communications between a vehicle in outer space and Earth, using high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (radio waves). Provision for such communication is an essential requirement of any space mission. The total communication system ordinarily includes (1) command, the transmission of instructions to the spacecraft; (2) telemetry, the transmission of scientific and applications data from the spacecraft to Earth; and (3) tracking, the determination of the distance (range) from Earth to the spacecraft and its radial velocity (range-rate) toward or away from Earth by the measurement of the round-trip radio transmission time and Doppler frequency shift (magnitude and direction). A specialized but commercially important application, which is excluded from consideration here, is the communications satellite system in which the spacecraft serves solely as a relay station between remote points on Earth.

The MIT Physics Department is one of the best places in the world for research and education in physics, ranked the number one physics department since 2002 by US News & World Report. In recent years, the Department has produced the largest numbers of undergraduate and doctoral degrees in physics of any university in the US. Research is organized into four primary research areas, pushing back the frontiers of human understanding of space and time and of matter and energy in all its forms, from the subatomic to the cosmological and from the elementary to the complex. Four Nobel Prizes awarded to faculty since 1990, and four alumni have won Nobel Prizes since 1998. The Department of Physics investigates the nature of universe in its most extreme conditions in order to discover new and exciting phenomena. MIT Physics researchers study the largest things in the universe. They study the smallest things in the universe: elementary particles or even the strings that may be the substructure of these particles. They study the hottest things in the universe. They study the coldest things in the universe. They study the most complicated things too: unusual materials like high temperature superconductors and those that are important in biology. By pushing the limits, MIT physicists have the chance to observe new general principles and to test theories of the structure and behavior of matter and energy. More
