Communicating with distant space probes requires extremely high antenna orientation precision to maintain signal integrity over astronomical distances.

The analysis

The retrieved literature supports the claim that communicating with deep space probes and distant missions requires very high antenna pointing and orientation precision (such as sub-degree or fractional-degree accuracy via the Deep Space Network and advanced beamsteering architectures) to overcome extreme path loss and geometric challenges.
