Deep space bands

Deep Space Bands and Near Space Bands are frequency bands that have been allocated to the space research service by the International Telecommunication Union for use in deep space and near Earth research.[1]

Frequency allocations in MHz

up-link (Earth to Space) down-link (Space to Earth) up-link (Earth to Space) down-link (Space to Earth)
S band 2 110–2 1202 290–23002 025–2 1102 200–2 290
X band 7 145–7 1908 400–8 4507 190–7 2358 450–8 500
