Usuda Deep Space Center all subsequent antennas of their Deep Space Network (DSN). Similar huge antennas are used by the deep space networks of the USA, China, Russia, Europe, and India. Because the 64 meter antenna is getting old, JAXA is building a new antenna nearby. This antenna will be slightly smaller (54 meters in diameter) but have better surface accuracy and hence be capable of working at the higher Ka-band frequencies. This will increase the potential data throughput despite the smaller size. Usuda Deep Space Center Usuda Deep Space Center is a facility of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency It is a spacecraft
