Goldstone’s DSS-15 Antenna at Sunset

Deep Space Station 15 (DSS-15), one of the 112-foot (34-meter) antennas at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California, is seen at sunset in September 2025. The crescent Moon hangs just above the horizon. Goldstone is part of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), which operates three complexes around the globe that support communications with dozens of deep space missions.
