Thanks for these great details. Is there a fee for using the NASA resources (I assume there is, I just don't know how this works)?

  Yes, there is a fee. The largest antennas (i.e., the absolutely gigantic 70 meter dishes) can be $5k per hour. Further discussion on StackOverflow [1] and the NASA MOCS guide [2].
