Summary

Description
English: One of three 111.5 ft (34 m) Beam Waveguide antennas at Goldstone tracks a spacecraft as it comes into view. These three are located in Apollo Valley and are designated DSS-24, 25, and 26. This photograph was taken on Jan. 11, 2012.

The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, located in the Mojave Desert in California, is one of three complexes that comprise NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). The DSN provides radio communications for all of NASA's interplanetary spacecraft and is also utilized for radio astronomy and radar observations of the solar system and the universe.

JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Deep Space Network for NASA.
