1. Story
2. The Deep Space Network's European complex, near Robledo de Chavela in the hills west of Madrid, operated in partnership with Spain's Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial. It carries the middle third of the network's longitude coverage, so that a spacecraft handed off from Goldstone can be picked up without a gap as the Earth rotates. Like the other two complexes it has a 70-metre antenna and a set of 34-metre dishes, and it tracks Voyager 1 among many other missions.

15. Evidence
16. The Deep Space Network comprises three complexes spaced roughly 120 degrees apart in longitude — Goldstone in California, Robledo de Chavela near Madrid and Tidbinbilla near Canberra — each with a 70-metre antenna and several 34-metre antennas; DSS-43 at Canberra is the only antenna capable of transmitting commands to Voyager 2, whose trajectory carries it far south of the ecliptic. V55 verification basis: THE PAGES WERE NOT REACHED — jpl.nasa.gov is blocked to this session and the search budget was exhausted. The DSS-43 uplink exclusivity is a widely reported fact that a curator should confirm, along with the dates of the antenna's 2020 upgrade outage.
