When the NASA Voyager spacecraft call home from interstellar space, we’re ready to take the call. 📡 Our 70-metre antenna, Deep Space Station 43 #DSS43#DSS34#DSS35 supporting Voyager-2 at 20.6 billion kms from Earth.

After nearly 10 months, Deep Space Station 34 is in the final stages of works to prepare the antenna for the upcoming #Artemis#DSS34 is the last of our three 34-metre dishes requiring these upgrades. 📡🚀🌖

It may not be the deflector dish on the Starship Enterprise, but antenna dish Deep Space Station 46 helped humans go where no one has gone before. #DSS46#StarTrekDay 🖖

Deep Space Station 46, received and broadcast Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon in July 1969.

On a foggy morning @CanberraDSN, Deep Space Station 43, standing about 73-metres above the valley floor, catches the first rays of sunlight. A fog bow formed as well, adding to the winter scene. -2°C to start the day. #DSS43 📡😶‍🌫️🌈

Some very nice by lenticular clouds around this afternoon.📡 As stable moist air flows over the mountain ranges, cooler temperatures cause it to condense into large scale standing waves forming the layered clouds.
