Description
Tucked away in the mountains outside Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Communication Centre is a joint venture between the Australian CSIRO and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The centre has been used for space flight communications since the 1960s.
The 70m dish pictured here keeps in touch with various deep space probes, including the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the two Voyager missions now far beyond the limits of the solar system.
