This is how NASA comunicates with all the obiters, satelites, missions, and everything that we send up into the final frontier. It is ... NASA DSN! which is short for deep space network that is of course. But this is actually particularly used in conjunction with missions to Mars itself. The network consists of three diferent stations with there own satelites and are spaced evenly around the globe at 120 degrees apart. The locations are in Goldstone, in California's Mojave Desert; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia if you were interested in an awesome family vacation! the placement allows for constant communication with the satelites and missions and stuff so its really effective.
