CBS crew at GTS, 24 March 1961. [Description from photo index.]. In 1961, a film crew visited the Goldstone Tracking Station to do a segment for the television show "CBS Reports". They are shown here at the Echo site, in front of an 85-foot antenna. Walt Victor, Chief of JPL's Communications Systems Research Section, provided commentary for the program. This antenna was later moved to another site, used for radar detection of the planet Venus, and designated Deep Space Station 13 (DSS-13).
