Indian Deep Space Network

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) set up a Deep Space Network (DSN) centre in Byalalu. One of the main advantages of having the DSN at Byalalu was its saucer-like shape that would help in blocking radio frequency disturbances. The DSN was initially set up to track Chandrayaan I, India's first lunar mission; as of September 2014, it is being used to track the ongoing Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), known as Mangalyaan.[1][2][3]

gollark: Shor's algorithm? Yes. HOWEVER, there are algorithms designed to not be attacked by quantum stuff, yes.
gollark: Public key crypto stuff?
gollark: Guess what? We can already basically do that with cryptographic primitives, but people use them wrong and the rest of the systems are terrible.
gollark: People also overhype it and talk about how you can get "unhackable" communication through fiddling with key exchange using fancy quantum whatever.
