Abstract
Successful radio communication between spacecraft and earth stations depends upon the use of appropriate radio frequencies and upon having sufficient freedom from interference. Radio frequencies for deep-space research may be chosen from bands that are allocated for that purpose. The choice of particular frequencies within those bands is guided mostly by the need to avoid interference between deep-space missions. Interference may also result from terrestrial sources making transmissions not related to space research.
