Establishing a real-time video link to Antarctica

摘要

On November 24, 1992, NASA engineers implemented a real-time video link between McMurdo Station in the Antarctic and the continental United States. The problems encountered and the solutions developed in establishing a network in a harsh and isolated environment provide valuable insights into the conditions space explorers will encounter in planetary exploration. These efforts have enabled subsequent breakthroughs in technology applications, education, and telepresence.
