The NEN falls under NASA's SOMD (Space Operations Mission Directorate), interoperating with the SCaN Program offices. The Goddard Space Flight Center Ground Network Project has responsibility for maintaining the NEN, as well as implementing the Satellite laser ranging (SLR) Network.
View from the Earth's north pole, showing the field of view of the main DSN antenna locations. Once a mission gets more than 30,000 km (19,000 mi) from Earth, it is always in view of at least one of the stations. Tracking vehicles in deep space is quite different from tracking missions in low Earth orbit (LEO). Deep space missions are visible ...
The MILA tracking station with the Vehicle Assembly Building in the distance. The Merritt Island Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network station, known in NASA parlance as MILA, was a radio communications and spacecraft tracking complex located on 61 acres (0.25 km 2) at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.

The space agency said the satellite launched with a mass of 2,526 kilograms and now, depleted of fuel, has an estimated mass of 2,294 kilograms, which is roughly 5,054 pounds. Try not to let that ...
Space Network (SN) is a NASA program that combines space and ground elements to support spacecraft communications in Earth vicinity. The SN Project Office at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) manages the SN, which consists of: [1] The geosynchronous Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS), Supporting ground terminal systems,
NASA said the debris was from SpaceX’s Crew-7 mission, which launched to space on Aug. 26, 2023, then returned after a six-month expedition at the space station.
The Manned Space Flight Network (abbreviated MSFN, pronounced "misfin") was a set of tracking stations built to support the American Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab space programs. There were two other NASA space communication networks at the time, the Spacecraft Tracking and Data Acquisition Network (STADAN) for tracking satellites in low ...
After almost 40 years circling Earth, a retired NASA science satellite plunged harmlessly through the atmosphere off the coast of Alaska, NASA reported Monday. The Defense Department confirmed ...
