  The success of the US quest to explore space depends upon NASA's Deep Space Network, a grid that provides the antennas and satellite links that track and control craft launched from Earth. Douglas J. Mudgway tells the story of the challenges, successes, and failures that beset the dedicated engineers who turned the initial vision into reality.
