The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, seen here in the Mojave Desert in southern California in an undated file photo, along with two other antenna array complexes, are expected to assist NASA with their anticipated switchboard crunch in January that should tax its ability to communicate with the world's far-flung fleet of robotic space probes. One of those probes will be NASA's second Mars rover that was launched Monday, July 7, 2003, in Cape Canaveral, Fla., after a two-week delay. [AP]
