Dsn

The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a global network of radio antennas that provides the communication link between Earth and spacecraft exploring our solar system and beyond. Managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the DSN is composed of three deep-space communications facilities strategically placed approximately 120 degrees apart in longitude around the world: the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California, the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex near Madrid, Spain, and the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex near Canberra, Australia. This arrangement ensures that any spacecraft in deep space is always visible to at least one of the facilities, allowing for continuous communication. The DSN is not only used for command and control of spacecraft but also for the collection of scientific data from these missions. In Hebrew, the DSN is referred to as רשת החלל העמוק (Rashet HaChalal HaAmuk). Other translations include Red de Espacio Profundo in Spanish and Réseau d'Espace Profond in French.
