  • There are several problems if you want to interfere that communication.

    First, you need to reverse engineer the protocol. For that you need to be able to log what nasa is sending and what they are receiving. Both has quite some problems, as the sending signal is tightly focused towards the spacecraft, so you probably have to find the actual dish and install a bug to read what they are sending. The NASA might object to that.

    Second, you would need the hardware. Which is beyond the normal hobbyists budget.

    And finally, you would have to be 100% spot on in your reverse engineering of the protocol or you’ll probably just brick that thing.
