Information

Currently supporting over 30 missions, the DSN ensures that the critical science obtained by robotic spacecraft in extreme environments at incredible distances makes it back home to Earth. High profile missions such as the Voyagers, the Mars Rovers, and Hubble will be well known to many of you, but dozens of other spacecraft are quietly engaged in work of equal importance that daily increases our understanding of our own small world and the universe.
