“The fact that you even understand that tells me not to challenge you to a math/physics/science/astronomy test of any kind :)”

Copy/Paste does not impart understanding. Not giving credit to the source does imply something.

S- and X-bands are radio frequency (RF) bands used for a variety of applications, including radar, satellite communications, and deep space telecommunications:

OK THEN....how about them Dodgers :)

Cause our conversation about S and X Bands would be very short lived!

It was nice when we produced engineers 50 years ago. Leading in defense technologies for so long has been a blessing..........so far.

“Everything about the Voyager probes continues to be a testament to the engineering team that designed them and those who keep working on them.”

And it’s doubtful that that could be engineered with today’s lazy, DEI engineers.
