NASA's deep space network welcomes a new dish to the family

The new 34-meter-wide dish has been under construction at the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex in Spain since 2017. DSS-56 is the first to use the Deep Space Network's full range of communication frequencies as soon as it went online. This means DSS-56 is an "all-in-one" antenna that can communicate with all the missions that the DSN supports and can be used as a backup for any of the Madrid complex's other antennas.

In addition to Spain, the Deep Space Network has ground stations in California (Goldstone) and Australia (Canberra). This configuration allows mission controllers to communicate with spacecraft throughout the solar system at all times during Earth's rotation.
