Over 50 years ago, NASA captured the world’s imagination and inspired generations with the Apollo 11 moon landing. NASA’s then-young Deep Space Network (DSN) was crucial to tracking and communicating with that mission, as it will also be essential to NASA’s next push to the moon: Artemis. In the half-century between those two lunar efforts, the network has expanded to support dozens of robotic spacecraft exploring the solar system, requiring complex coordination throughout the space agency.
