The NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide network of spacecraft communication ground segment facilities, located in the United States (California), Spain (Madrid), and Australia (Canberra), that supports NASA's interplanetary spacecraft missions.
Deep space bands and near space bands are frequency bands that have been allocated to space research services by the International Telecommunication Union for use in deep space and near space research.
Mar 30, 2020 · The Deep Space Network – or DSN – is NASA’s international array of giant radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, plus a few that orbit Earth. The DSN also provides radar and radio astronomy observations that improve our understanding of the solar system and the larger universe.

The DSN has developed channel plans to provide for orderly selection and assignment of frequencies for deep-space missions (Category B, greater than 2 million km from Earth) for the S- and X-bands. These deep space channel plans are based on bandwidth and transponder turnaround-ratio considerations.
