	Goldstone DSN booklet
		The Ground Communications Facility provides and controls the communications circuits that link the three communications complexes to the control center at JPL and to the flight project control centers in the United States and overseas.
		In addition to deep space missions many Earth orbiting spacecraft belonging to both the United States and foreign agencies are supported by the Network during their launch, transfer, and drift orbit phases.
		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.

	Heavy Traffic; Keeping Communication Lines Open in an Ever-Crowded Solar System (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, located in the Mojave Desert in California, is one of three complexes which 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.
		The amount of time mission scientist get to track and communicate with their spacecraft is determined through a DSN management team, which gives priority to vehicles performing critical maneuvers such as going into orbit around a planet.

	Deep Impact: Technology: Team Members Visit the DSN
		While I was in Southern California supporting the "Encounter" of the Deep Impact spacecraft with comet Tempel 1 in early July 2005, I had the opportunity to visit the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex about a hundred miles northeast of Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert.
		The Goldstone complex occupies a 52 square-mile area, throughout which are scattered about 15 different antennas, ranging in size from 9 meters (29.5 ft) across to a mammoth 70 meters (230 ft).
		Being part of the Deep Impact team, we were able to fly to the Goldstone complex on the NASA-7 aircraft, a small plane used to shuttle personnel between NASA facilities.

	High Resolution Image of Toutatis
		The image was acquired by using radar carried out at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California's Mojave desert.
		These "contact binaries" may be fairly common since another one, 4769 Castalia, was observed in 1989 when it passed near the Earth.
		Numerous surface features on Toutatis, including a pair of half-mile-wide craters, side by side, and a series of three prominent ridges -- a type of asteroid mountain range -- are presumed to result from a complex history of impacts.

	National Park Service: Man in Space (Tracking Stations)
		It was built in 1958 and is at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near the northeast tip of Goldstone Dry Lake approximately 45 miles northwest of Barstow, California.
		Because spacecraft move much like a celestial object in space after traveling several thousand miles from the Earth, it was natural to choose a mount that would steer the antenna from one horizon to the other at a sidereal rate, thus simplifying the mechanical complexity.
		While research in sophisticated techniques of space age telecommunications had been going on since 1954, there was little experience in dealing with the practical problems of tracking a spacecraft traveling far from Earth, maintaining communication contact, and capturing radio waves generated from the far reaches of space.

		Deep Space Network is an international network of radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, and radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe.
		Once the data is processed at the complexes, it is transmitted to JPL for further processing and for distribution to science teams over a modern ground communications network.
		The Deep Space Network was given responsibility for its own research, development, and operation in support of all of its users.

		BARSTOW -- The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex and its counterparts in Spain and Australia may be propelled 40 years into the future if NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories gets the proper federal funding.
		The complex's communications structure uses a handful of 70-meter and 30-meter antennas -- the same kind used to communicate with the first lunar expedition -- which lag behind the technology used in space, Statman said.
		Even though NASA is considering two other sites in New Mexico as alternatives to Goldstone to install the new set of antennas, the complex is in no danger of shutting down in the near future, he said.

		The complexes are far from heavily populated areas so that the very weak signals from distant spacecraft are not contaminated or obscured by radio interference from electrical power lines, radio and television stations, or household and industrial appliances.
		Unfortunately for scientific communication, microwave radio also is used on Earth by television stations, cellular telephone towers, data communication networks, radar, FM radio broadcasts, and transmissions to and from Earth-orbiting satellites.
		In 2002, the Deep Space Network engineers celebrated 25 years of two-way communication with the Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 spacecraft, which today are exploring the far outer reaches of the Solar System.
