Diameter antenna of Goldstone satellite
The 70-metre diameter antenna of the Goldstone satellite tracking station, California. Goldstone, which also has 3 smaller antennae, is one of the key stations in the Deep Space Network or DSN, NASAs worldwide spacecraft tracking & communications complex. The DSN sends commands to & acquires data from NASAs planetary missions, such as the two Voyager spacecraft that visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune in 1979-1989

EDITORS COMMENTS
The impressive 70-metre diameter antenna of the Goldstone satellite tracking station in California takes center stage in this photo print. As one of the key stations in NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), Goldstone plays a crucial role in spacecraft tracking and communications on a global scale. This colossal dish receiver is not alone, accompanied by three smaller antennae that collectively form an integral part of the DSN. Together, they enable NASA to send commands and acquire vital data from its planetary missions across the vast reaches of space. One such remarkable mission was undertaken by the two Voyager spacecraft, which embarked on an extraordinary journey to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune between 1979 and 1989. The Goldstone satellite dish played a pivotal role during this groundbreaking expedition. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries. The communication technology showcased here represents our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and expanding our knowledge beyond Earth's confines. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this awe-inspiring image that symbolizes mankind's unyielding quest for discovery through advanced satellite receiving stations like Goldstone. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation while highlighting the critical importance of effective communication networks for space exploration endeavors.
