Ah Actually,
It says it handled the broadcasts of TV signals to the world, during the 
moon-walk
escapade. Comsat, has been in the Satellite broadcast business from the 
beginning
of satellite comms. It is a U.S. owned (the PEOPLE) government run satellite 
communications Corporation. They had nothing to do with Goldstone Tracking
Station, except possibly "in passing". As with most of the large Earth 
stations,
they are funded by, if not under direct control of NASA. Which is another 
"Ball
of Wax"!

Check where most of the funding, and New Research projects at CSIRO come
from. They do a good job there, but they are not as it were unique! FWIW
