Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC), commonly called the Goldstone Observatory, is located in the Mojave Desert near Barstow in the U.S. state of California. Operated by the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Its main purpose is to track and communicate with space missions. It is named after Goldstone, California, a nearby gold-mining ghost town.

The complex includes the Pioneer Deep Space Station (aka DSS 11), which is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The current communications complex is one of three in the NASA Deep Space Network, the others being the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex in Spain and the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex in Australia.
