[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 935067, member: 369937"] Yah, there is no DSL connection, and they didn't have a fiber cable that long, also the radio transmitter does not have a lot of bandwidth at that distance, about 2000 bit's per second, and that is dropping as it gets further away. Info on this can be found here. [code]http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Mission/Spacecraft/Data-Collection.php[/code] Plus we are using the biggest radio telescopes on the planet to pick this stuff up, but after 3 + billion miles the signal is a bit weak.
