The iconic 70-meter antenna at NASA's Deep Space Network site in Goldstone, Calif., was returned to service Nov. 1 following a seven-month overhaul expected to extend the life of the half-century-old dish at least another 15 years.rnNASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., spent the month of October testing the antenna, officially known as Deep Space Station 14, to ensure it was in working order and fully functional, as scheduled, by Nov. 1.
