The NASCOM network is a global system that provides communications support to all NASA projects. Voice, data, and teletype links are available through the network for connecting the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System(TDRSS) with user spacecraft control centers. Land lines, submarine cables, and microwave/satellite links make up this communications system. The user services available from the Space network, which includes TDRSS and its supporting Goddard elements, are provided through NASCOM. 2, record 1, English, - NASA%20Communications%20Network
