Goldstone, along with its companion communications facilities in Madrid, Spain, and Canberra, Australia, provide constant observation of spacecraft as Earth rotates. Among their many duties, this trio of facilities provides the means for Earth-based teams to send commands to spacecraft and bring back images and information collected about planets, the solar system and the universe beyond.
