In information theory and coding theory with applications in computer science and telecommunications, error detection and correction or error control are techniques that enable reliable delivery of di
To clean up transmission errors introduced by Earth's atmosphere (left), Goddard scientists applied Reed–Solomon error correction (right), which is commonly used in CDs and DVDs. Typical errors include missing pixels (white) and false signals (black). The white stripe indicates a brief period when transmission was interrupted.
