    Currently there are 3 probes around Mars,

    1) Mars Odyssey,
    2) Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)
    3) Europe's Mars Express

    They are all going to watch as Phoenix Mars Lander lands on May 25'th.

    With 3-4 probes in working order around the planet - I think atleast some
    of us could be able to recieve any signals....
    I bet they don't transmit around 1.42GHz... but surely someone may have
    2.1-2.2GHz reception capabilites? It's probably around there you can find
    most signals, except for 8-10GHz and above.....

    What possabilities would there be to recieve a 5W L-band / lower S-band
    signal, using <1dB LNA what dish size and integration time would be required for this?

    Perhaps they use even more powerful transmitters than 5W?
    It's just a figure I read somewhere....
