Summary
| Description |
In early 2010 construction commenced on a new generation of communication antennas at the CDSCC at Tidbinbilla, ACT. CSIRO manages the CDSCC – one of three DSN stations around the world used for communicating with NASA's spacecraft. The antennas, know as DSS35 and DSS36, will be 34-metre 'dish' constructions know as Beam Wave Guide (BWG) design, meaning the antennas have their transmission and receiving equipment in an underground structure which forms the base pedestal on top of which the main antennas structure and dish are supported. The first antenna to be built, DSS35, will be capable of transmitting across a range of radio frequencies for deep space communication to interplanetary robotic spacecraft. Over the next 10-15 years the planets align in such a way that the Southern Hemisphere will have the best overall view of the existing spacecraft spread out across the Solar System. DSS35 will expand the capabilities of CDSCC providing an additional ante |
