An Inside Look at NASA's Deep Space Network (Motherboard)
"The DSN is a collection of three advanced communications platforms with enormous and sophisticated antennas that exchange data with NASA's missions in space. NASA's three deep-space networks are located in Spain, Australia, and California, and are strategically placed 120 degrees apart in longitude in order to afford constant contact with spacecraft while the Sun rises and sets on the equidistant parts of the earth."

Spy Satellite Engineer's Top Secret is Revealed (NPR)
"Now, Pressel is free to speak about his life's work: designing cameras for a top-secret U.S. government spy satellite. Officially known as the KH-9 Hexagon, engineers called it "Big Bird" for its massive size. Until the government declassified it last month, Hexagon had been a secret for 46 years."
