The 34 meter (111 foot) High Efficiency (HEF) antenna in the foreground is nicknamed the “Uranus Antenna” because it was built in the 1980s to receive signals during Voyager 2’s Uranus encounter. This HEF antenna is located at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC). HEF antennas are also located at the other Deep Space Network (DSN) facilities in Canberra, Australia and Madrid, Spain.
