	History of Goldstone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Goldstone was first established around 1881 when they opened up a, you guessed it, gold mine!.
		In 1915 Goldstone had a huge boom (which probably means that a second shaft was drilled).
		The Goldstone mine, primary target of the GRandIC, is kind enough to be located right downtown making it easier to for me to model both the town and the mine.

	Deep Space Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The network is a facility of the JPL and is managed and operated for NASA by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
		The array electronically links the 70-metre antenna at the Deep Space Network complex in Goldstone, California, with an identical antenna located in Australia, in addition to two 34-metre (111-foot) antennas at the Canberra complex.
		The forerunner of the DSN was established in January, 1958, when JPL, then under contract to the U.S. Army, deployed portable radio tracking stations in Nigeria, Singapore, and California to receive telemetry and plot the orbit of the Army-launched Explorer 1, the first successful U.S. satellite.

		The Goldstone complex is a self-sufficient working community with its own roads and airstrip, diesel-electric generators, and telephone system, and is equipped with all necessary domestic support services.
		Goldstone is also the Network research and development center for advanced systems and prototype equipment that will extend the communication range increase the data rates, and improve station operations.
		The Goldstone Signal Processing center is the result of a 5-year upgrade program completed in 1985 to provide centralized remote control and performance monitoring of the 34- and 70-meter antenna stations (DSS 12, 15, and 14).

		One of the radio telescopes in Goldstone, California has been brought out of moth balls and dedicated for use by educators and students.
		The students operate the telescope (34 meters or 102 feet in diameter) which is in Goldstone, from their classroom anywhere in the United States.

		The near-resonance between its rotation and its closest approach to Earth helped to create this impression, as Venus always seemed to be facing the same direction when it was in the best location for observations to be made.
		The rotation rate of Venus was first measured during the 1961 conjunction, observed by radar from a 26-meter antenna at Goldstone California, the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in the UK, and the Soviet deep space facility in Evpatoriia.
		Accuracy was refined at each subsequent conjunction, primarily from measurments made from Goldstone and Evpatoriia.

	Waiting for Cassini's "Safe Arrival" Call
		In such winds, the DSN's huge dish antennas must be locked into position pointed straight up and cannot be used to track a tiny spacecraft a billion miles away as Earth turns on its axis.
		The DSN complex at Goldstone, California, was tracking the carrier signal from Cassini's low-gain antenna (LGA) when the telltale Doppler shift in the LGA signal was seen, indicating the sudden deceleration of the spacecraft from the successful ignition of the main engine.
		It was provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

		According to Dave Doody, a Cassini Mission Controller at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, there was a good chance the Earth-bound Cassini crew would have to wait hours to learn whether or not the burn was successful.

		The real life city of Goldstone had a boom in 1915 so that is the time period for this railroad.
		Having been close to dormant since being built in 1889, this is an under-powered, short on equipment and even shorter on maintenance lack of talent narrow gauge mining railroad that is suddenly faced with the responsibility of hauling lots and lots of stuff.

	DEMOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, AND SECURITY: AN OVERVIEW
		Oddly, although the environment conflict literature has conceded that environmental impacts on violence depend on interactions with political and economic structures, this literature has not closely examined the impact of environmental change on states and elites.
		It is precisely because of the importance of such imbalances that countries such as Saudi Arabia and China bear watching for political unrest, despite their success in dramatically reducing their rate of population growth.
		Yet current projections of population growth and economic development in the latter countries suggest a huge increase in their future CO output; by 2010 China and India will be producing fifty percent more CO than the U.S. (Goldstone 1999b: 255).

		It had been one thing to propose satellite communication, to make calculations concerning the feasibility of microwave communication by means of satellites, to locate O’Sullivan’s balloon, to stir up the enthusiasm of people at Bell Laboratories, JPL and NASA.
		Both Rudi Kompfner and I were so far from participation in the technical details of the work that we were sent from the operating area of the terminal to another small building, equipped only with a loudspeaker over which we could hear any received signals.

		A signal of a known strength could be transmitted from one of the large radio astronomy antennas on Earth- Arecibo in Puerto Rico, Goldstone in California, or Haystack in Massachusetts- to the moon or Mars.
		The returned signal could then be compared with known signal characteristics and a judgement made about soil composition, the dimensions of slopes and rocks, and other characteristics of a specific area.
		Since the latitude base that could be studied was limited to 10° to 20° south, none of the candidate sites could be examined, but the information would be valuable because it would contribute to the specialists' understanding of radar's potential in such investigations.

		To avoid causing interference, NASA stated, such aircraft would have to choose between the impractical solutions of either avoiding the airspace in the vicinity of Goldstone or turning off their transmitters while within line-of-sight of Goldstone.
		Accordingly, in order to preserve the authority for commercial entities to make use of the Federal Government's deep space facility at Goldstone, California, we will maintain the non-Federal Government space research service allocation in the band 31.8-32.3 GHz, limited to the reception of deep space communications at Goldstone, California.
		In this Report and Order, we have clarified that commercial entities may continue to make use of the Federal Government's facility at Goldstone, and we therefore find that no small entities will be impacted by the rule change.
