How NASA Uses Gravity and Radio Waves to Study Planets and Moons . Using data from NASA Mars' InSight lander, scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of the Red Planet’s rotation. How? Giant radio antennas on Earth! 🌏📡🔴 Specifically, the Deep Space Network, NASA Space Communications and Navigation's international collection of antennas used to communicate with spacecraft at the Moon and beyond. Scientists and engineers can use the Deep Space Network to conduct gravity and radio science experiments that reveal details about our planetary neighbors.
