This weather station is located at Echo Station, site of one of the oldest antennas at NASA's Goldstone facility, which communicates with deep-space satellites (including one of the Voyagers, which was over 10,000,000,000 miles from Earth on the day of our visit in April 2011). Echo Station contains the administrative headquarters of the facility.
Goldstone can be visited only on an official NASA tour; these are held on weekdays and are free of charge, but you have to reserve a spot in advance. See (
visit link) or google "Goldstone NASA tours" for details.
