The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC) is one of three Deep Space Network (DSN) facilities. GSDCC is located in the Mojave Dessert about 35 miles north of Barstow, CA on the Fort Irwin Military Base. Its remote, quiet location is ideal for receiving and transmitting signals from satellites. The antenna in the foreground, Deep Space Station 14 (DSS-14), has a diameter of 64 meters (210 feet) and has since been upgraded to 70 meters (230 feet).
