In fact, predefined convolutional codes structures obtained during scientific researches are used in the industry. This relates to the possibility to select catastrophic convolutional codes (causes larger number of errors).
An especially popular Viterbi-decoded convolutional code, used at least since the [[Voyager program]], has a constraint length {{mvar|K}} of 7 and a rate ''r'' of 1/2.<ref>Butman, S. A., L. J. Deutsch, and R. L. Miller. [https://ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-63/63H.PDF "Performance of concatenated codes for deep space missions." ] The Telecommunications and Data Acquisition Progress Report 42-63, March–April 1981 (1981): 33-39.</ref>
[[Mars Pathfinder]], [[Mars Exploration Rover]] and the [[Cassini probe]] to Saturn use a {{mvar|K}} of 15 and a rate of 1/6; this code performs about 2 dB better than the simpler <math>K=7</math> code at a cost of 256× in decoding complexity (compared to Voyager mission codes).
