The Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex (CDSCC) is located in Australia at Tidbinbilla about half an hours drive out of Canberra. It is part of the worldwide Deep Space Network run by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The complex is commonly referred to as the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station.
The CSIRO manages most of NASA's activities in Australia. Since March 2003, Raytheon Australia has managed the CDSCC on behalf of the CSIRO and NASA.
Tidbinbilla is seperated from Canberra by the Murrumbidgee River and a range of Hills that help shield the city's RF noise from the dishes. Located nearby is the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.
