Goldstone Tracking Station

The Goldstone Tracking Station is a large radio antenna facility operated by NASA, located in California’s Mojave Desert. It is used to communicate with spacecraft exploring planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. The station sends and receives radio signals, allowing scientists to track spacecraft’s positions, gather scientific data, and send commands. It plays a vital role in space exploration, supporting missions like Mars rovers, planetary probes, and space telescopes. The facility is part of a network that ensures continuous communication with spacecraft, helping us learn more about our solar system and beyond.
