This paper provides an overview of the imaging results of the JPL/NASA unmanned exploration missions to all the planets of the solar system (except Pluto) as well as the telecommunications capability which was developed to enable/support those missions. the telecommunications link improvements will be described to show increases in data rate capability resulting from the addition of ground antenna aperture, transmitter power, coding techniques, lower noise receivers, etc. This paper will also describe (briefly) the current and future flight missions. The presentation will be supported by a significant number of pictures taken during the planetary encounters as well as pictures of the Deep Space Network antennas.
