After nearly breaking, NASA's Deep Space Network "worked well" on Artemis II

NASA's Deep Space Network Passes Artemis II Test After Nearly Breaking During Artemis I

NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) was overwhelmed during Artemis I in 2022, causing delays for science missions.
For Artemis II, the DSN implemented new coordination and scheduling processes.
Artemis II was shorter (9 days vs 25) and carried fewer CubeSats, reducing demand.
The DSN performed well, receiving positive feedback from NASA's science division.
