This page contains philatelic information on the Deep Space Network (DSN) Spacecraft Tracking [mostly un-manned]. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.

This first table below lists philatelic items that feature tracking and communications, via NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) Spacecraft Tracking, intended mainly for spacecraft traveling outside of Earth orbit. Philatelic items for, or related to, the following systems and acronyms are included in that table:

DSIF = Deep Space Instrumentation Facility, the name of the DSN at the founding of NASA in 1958.
DSN = Deep Space Network (replaced the DSIF in 1963). The DSN is operated from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
DSCC = Deep Space Communications Complex (three sites: Goldstone, USA (GDSCC); Canberra, Australia (CDSCC, or commonly referred to as the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Communication(s) Complex (TDSCC)); and Madrid, Spain (MDSCC)). Through 34 m and 70 m wide antennas, the DSN stations at these sites provide two-way radio communications with un-manned spacecraft exploring our Solar System and beyond.
DSS = Deep Space Station (with an associated number which defines the antennas and associated receivers and transmitters used for each station at DSCC sites). Sometimes DSIF is found with an associated number, the same as later designated as a DSS number.

Other spacecraft tracking networks preceded the DSN or now exist in parallel with it, sometimes with their stations co-located with those of the DSN. In particular this is true of Goldstone, which is perhaps the largest spacecraft tracking complex in the world. There also exist independent tracking sites. Other tracking networks of interest include:

Minitrack = Minimum Trackable Satellite, the first spacecraft tracking system which utilized sites with overlapping antenna patterns to track the first artificial Earth satellites.
STADAN = the Spacecraft Tracking And Data Acquisition Network name started in the 1960s as the tracking evolved to include different and more tracking stations.
MSFN = the Manned Space Flight Network was developed specifically for manned space flights in low Earth orbit.
STDN = the renamed Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network, which consolidated the MSFN and STADAN into a single tracking network.
TDRS (or TDRSS) = the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System uses TDRS geostationary satellites to track Earth-orbiting spacecraft, allowing STDN sites to be phased out starting in the 1980s [see the authors' article on The TDRS System (Space and Ground Segments)]

The first 'covers' table below (Deep Space Network (DSN) Spacecraft Tracking [un-manned]) features philatelic items with DSN tracking of un-manned spacecraft only. A second 'covers' table includes Space Shuttle missions that deployed un-manned satellites or carried scientific packages of interest to the authors, along with other manned missions (e.g. from the Gemini, ,Apollo, and Skylab series) for which covers of scientific interest to the authors have been found. The third 'covers' table below (Goldstone non-DSN Spacecraft Tracking) features covers from non-DSN tracking networks that were or are co-located with the Goldstone site (e.g. STADAN, STDN, and MSFN) for either manned or un-manned missions. This non-DSN table adds to the Goldstone information found in the DSN table.

In this page, the authors include philatelic items with direct references (usually in text) to the DSN or its 3 DSCC locations as well as direct references to JPL and/or Pasadena when implied as DSN headquarters, and we ignore indirect/generic refereces to spacecraft returning photos or imagery to Earth or depictions of non-DSN or other unidentified antennas.

Name and number (for 'covers' table below) Meter or Cachet Text Antenna Description
Philatelic elements that are common to the Goldstone DSCC (as found on items in the 'covers' table below)
meter1 Barstow CA red pictorial meter "Goldstone Space Communications Station, NASA/JPL, Deep Space Instrumentation Facility, Earth's Link with Deep Space" A depiction of what is likely Goldstone's Pioneer DSS-11, the prototype antenna design for the Deep Space Network, which was constructed in 1958 and was named for the Pioneer missions to the Moon in 1958 and 1959 (our earliest-known use of this meter is from 1967). DSS-11 was decommissioned in 1978.
meter2 Barstow CA red pictorial meter (different) "Goldstone Space Communications Station, NASA/JPL, Deep Space Instrumentation Facility, Earth's Link with Deep Space" A depiction of Goldstone's "flagship" Mars DSS-14 antenna. Upgrades to the DSS-14 antenna, including enlarging it to a 70 m diameter, were concluded in June 1988. The change to the use of this meter from the one described above probably took place in the late 1980s. Our earliest-known covers with it are from 1989.

²Salyut-2 tracking and its "unsuccessful end" (i. e. loss) officially announced. See http://www.astronautix.com/a/almazops.html.
³Surveyor-6, launched 7 Nov 1967, experienced its first lunar night in the last week of November and the first week of December. Attempts to contact it began on 13 Dec, 80 hours after the lunar sunrise, but it was only at 1641 UTC on 14 Dec that the Madrid DSS-61 captured a weak signal (erratic in both strength and frequency). Both Madrid and Goldstone (DSS-11) had trouble locking on to it. No useful scientific data were obtained and the last transmission from Surveyor-6 was received on 14 Dec at 1914 UTC. The mission was formally terminated on 21 Dec 1967. Mike Dinn, the deputy director at Tidbinbilla (DSS-42), said that "Surveyor-6 was expected to survive the lunar night - but it didn't ... JPL claimed they had done all the right things when they 'put it to bed', but for some reason it didn't start up again". On the other hand, Surveyor-5 (launched 8 Sep 1967) was entering its fourth lunar day on 14 Dec. While trying to revive Surveyor-6, the Goldstone DSS-11 made an unscheduled attempt to contact Surveyor-5 on 14 Dec. To the surprise of all, Surveyor-5 responded immediately with a good signal. Some science data were then received but were of poor quality. Surveyor-5 abruptly stopped transmitting, at 0430 UTC on 17 Dec, after DSS-11 sent a command to put it into high power mode.
⁴DSS-41, built in 1960 at Island Lagoon near Woomera, was the first Deep Space Tracking Station outside the USA. It was the second of three stations that formed the first global tracking network (the American Goldstone station started it all in 1958, while the Johannesburg station was built in 1961). The three were at first known as DSIF (Deep Space Instrumention Facility) stations, but became the DSN (Deep Space Network) in December 1963. Before that change, the antennas were identified by a "DSIF" designation (e.g. DSIF-41) which was changed to a "DSS" (Deep Space Station) designation (e.g. DSS-41). DSS-41 / DSIF-41 was operated by the Australian Department of Supply, whose W. R. E. (Weapons Research Establishment) also managed the nearby Woomera Rocket Range.
⁵The Baker-Nunn Camera, designed by James Baker and Joseph Nunn, was created to observe both natural and man-made satellites orbiting at a great altitude. This high-precision telescopic tracking camera was used by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to track artificial satellites from the 1950s to mid-1970s. The SAO set up a highly successful optical tracking system using a network of Baker-Nunn cameras at twelve tracking stations located in Argentina, Australia, Curacao, India, Iran, Japan, Peru, South Africa, Spain, and at three sites in the United States.
⁶The DSS-44 antenna was originally constructed in 1965 at the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station for the Apollo missions. After the Apollo and Skylab programs, the antenna was converted for use in NASA's Deep Space Network and moved to Tidbinbilla in 1983, where it was re-designated DSS-46.
⁷The cancel date on this item is days after the splashdown/recovery for this Apollo mission.
