NASA LIVE: TDRS-M Launch

Live coverage of the launch of NASA's TDRS-M Saellite
LAUNCH TIME: 8:03 AM ET

NASA’s Tracking Data Relay System (TDRS) is a network of specialized satellites that provide communications services to numerous NASA spacecraft. The addition, the TDRS-M satellite will enable space communication between spacecraft and Earth for 15 additional years, replenishing NASA’s Space Network.

The satellites enable near-constant communication between Earth and missions like the International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope. Without the Space Network, scientists, engineers and control room staff would be unable to readily access data from missions such as these.
