NASA uses a global array of ground stations, antennas, and satellites known as the Ground Network (GN), Deep Space Network (DSN), and Space Network (SN) for communications and navigation.
One of NASA's most exciting projects in this area is a technology we call synthetic vision -- the development of advanced sensors, digital terrain databases, accurate geo-positioning, ...
NASA kids page - All kids love space and everything about space so it's no wonder that NASA has developed a fine resource for kids. Check out an image of the day, make a postcard, learn about the land, sea, and air and more.
