NASA Goldstone Visitor Cente

Goldstone is one of three complexes in the world known as the Deep Space Network (DSN) established to communicate with spacecraft. This center informs visitors about the missions of the communications center established 40 miles north in the Mohave Desert at the Goldstone site, a former gold mine. The center began its operations with the Pionneer program probes (1958-1978) sent to the Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus.
