NASA expands Deep Space Network with new Goldstone antenna

NASA formally marked completion of DSS-23 at Goldstone on August 25, 2026.
The 34-meter antenna is part of the long-running Aperture Enhancement Project.
The dish has already entered service and supported multiple active missions.

NASA evacuates Madrid deep-space station as wildfires threaten critical network

NASA evacuates Madrid deep-space station as wildfires threaten critical network

NASA evacuated its Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex because of nearby wildfires.
The Madrid station is one of only three core sites in the Deep Space Network.
Mission support was shifted to Goldstone, California, to keep spacecraft communications running.
The incident underscores how vulnerable critical space infrastructure can be to terrestrial disasters.

One of NASA’s crucial links to deep space is at risk of burning down | New Scientist

Wildfire Threatens a Critical Node in NASA’s Deep Space Network

A wildfire burned through NASA’s Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex in Spain on July 24.
All employees evacuated safely, but the condition of the antennae had not yet been assessed.
The Deep Space Network has only three global stations and is already oversubscribed.
Damage in Spain could reduce both total communications capacity and sky coverage for distant missions.

After nearly breaking, NASA's Deep Space Network "worked well" on Artemis II

NASA's Deep Space Network Passes Artemis II Test After Nearly Breaking During Artemis I

NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) was overwhelmed during Artemis I in 2022, causing delays for science missions.
For Artemis II, the DSN implemented new coordination and scheduling processes.
Artemis II was shorter (9 days vs 25) and carried fewer CubeSats, reducing demand.
The DSN performed well, receiving positive feedback from NASA's science division.

Supporting Artemis II From JPL’s Space Flight Operations Facility

Artemis II Marks Deep Space Network’s First Crewed Deep-Space Link In More Than 50 Years

After launch, Artemis II communications shifted from the Near Space Network to NASA's Deep Space Network.
NASA says this is the first time in more than 50 years that DSN has communicated with a crewed spacecraft traveling through deep space.
The network's three global complexes are central to tracking, commanding, and receiving data from distant missions.
