The Deep Space Network NASA Social – Celebrating 50 Years

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), the world’s largest and most powerful communications system for “talking” to spacecraft, we invited 45 social media followers to spend a day at JPL and a second day at the DSN Goldstone antenna complex.
This show aired live on NASA TV on April 1, 2014, from inside the Deep Space Network control room at JPL.
