Goldstone’s 70-Meter Antenna Under the Stars

Deep Space Station 14 (DSS-14), the 230-foot-wide (70-meter) antenna at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California, points up toward a starry sky in September 2025. Goldstone is part of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), which operates three complexes around the globe to support communications with dozens of deep space missions. DSS-14 is also the agency’s Goldstone Solar System Radar, which is used to observe asteroids that come close to Earth.
