The Deep Space Network (DSN) is well-known for its large parabolic dish antennas but what most people don’t realise is that each ground station site of the DSN has multiple antennas. At each complex there’s one 70-meter aperture antenna, one 34-meter dish, one 26-meter antenna, one 11-meter antenna and the centralized signal processing center which controls the antennas remotely.
Does anybody know of a website with High-resolution photos of the DSN complexes?

Here's a few pictures of Russian DSN facilities.

Pluton System (1960)

70-Meter Systems in Yevpatoria and Ussuriysk

[attachment=5957:attachment] [attachment=5958:attachment]
64-Meter Systems in Kalyazin and Bear Lake

Check out the bear in the foreground of the Kalyazin antenna. How Russian can you get!

They also have dozens of 26 and 32-meter antennas. They made a range of standard designs, increasing in surface area by factors of two.
