OSIRIS-APEX (DSN fix)

OSIRIS-APEX (DSN fix) is catalogued in this registry as a dsn-track, held in the frame of Earth, from DSN Now — measured spacecraft fixes.

Registry id DSNNOW_ORX · source layer dsn-now · provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented

Exists from 2026-06-10 01:28:11 UTC (JD 2461201.56125) until 2026-06-10 13:28:11 UTC (JD 2461202.06125).

Open OSIRIS-APEX (DSN fix) in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.

The catalogue's own note

DSN Goldstone/DSS25 measured fix: range 44.400 Gm, az 157° el 28° (feed quantizes pointing to ~1°). Geocentric, ERA-rotated, ecliptic frame. RETARDED fix — downleg light-time 148.1 s: this is where the craft APPEARED at the snapshot instant, i.e. its position 148.1 s earlier; not advanced to the snapshot time (the feed carries no velocity — the offset from the instantaneous position is ≈ its geocentric speed × 148.1 s). DSN link: X-band up +19.0 dBm · X-band down -140.0 dBm; the feed publishes no data rate on these legs; carrier frequency not read — the feed publishes zero for it, so neither the value nor its unit is verifiable here; NAIF -64.
