NASA’s Near Space Network: Overview

NASA's space communications and navigation networks support customer missions from launch to 2,000,000 kilometers away. The Near Space Network provides comprehensive services using a mix of commercial and government infrastructure, eliminating the need for missions to find service providers independently. The network ensures cost-effective, proficient, and secure services, supported by government infrastructure and commercial partnerships. The Goddard Space Flight Center, with its long history of excellence, continues to manage these services as NASA aims for new achievements.
