Abstract

During Superior Solar Conjunction, solar wind exerts severe effects on deep space communication link, which may lead to serious disruption. Distance between a channel and the Sun is the main factor to determine how serious the impact is on deep space communication. In this article, specific features of the impact caused by solar wind are analyzed. At last, based on China's Mars exploration mission, several feasible communication strategies verified by theoretical analysis are proposed to resist the impact of solar wind.
- Solar wind,
- Deep space exploration,
- Intensity flicker,
- Phase flicker,
- Frequency expansion
