Malargüe Station

Malargüe Station (also known as DSA 3 or Deep Space Antenna 3) is a 35-metre ESTRACK radio antenna in Argentina. It enables the European Space Agency (ESA) to communication with spacecraft in deep space. It is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of the town of Malargüe, Argentina. The Malargüe antenna has two sister stations, Cebreros Station, near Madrid, Spain, and New Norcia Station near New Norcia, Australia. The completion of this station will allow deep space missions to be tracked continuously.

On 7 December 2011, the station's 35 m-diameter dish antenna was hoisted into place. The operation took several hours and had to wait for a calm day with no wind. The station underwent tests in 2012 and was fully operational in 2013.

Malargüe Station was one of the stations providing communications, tracking and data download from the Rosetta spacecraft.

    New Norcia Station

    New Norcia Station (also known as DSA 1 or Deep Space Antenna 1) is a 35-metre ESTRACK satellite ground station for communication with spacecraft in deep space. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south of the town of New Norcia, Western Australia. It was the first ESA deep space ground station, followed by Cebreros Station and Malargüe Station.

    Station operates one 35-meter dish designated NNO-1 capable of two-way transmission in both S- and X-band using 2 and 20-kilowatt transmitters. Antenna weights over 600 tonnes and is 40 meters tall. Future upgrade plans include adding a Ka-band station to support international missions.

    Construction begun in April 2000 and lasted till the end of first half of 2002. Installation of electronics and communication equipment followed. The station was officially opened on 5 March 2003 by the Premier of Western Australia at the time, Dr Geoff Gallop. Total construction cost was €28 million.

    New Norcia Station was one of the stations providing communications, tracking and data download from the Rosetta spacecraft. In future it's planned to support BepiColombo mission.

    Cebreros Station

    Cebreros Station (also known as DSA 2 or Deep Space Antenna 2) is an INTA-operated, ESTRACK radio antenna station for communication with spacecraft located about 10 km east of Cebreros and 90 km from Madrid, Spain. A 35-metre diameter antenna that receives in X- and Ka-bands is located at the site. Station code is "CEB".

    It provides daily support to Venus Express and back-up to Mars Express, Rosetta and Cluster.

    Two sister stations are New Norcia Station in Australia, and Malargüe Station in Argentina.

    7 Days, 7 Weeks

    by: Deus

    Sister love, why don't you break it up?
    You got to let someone look into your heart
    Sister love, how do you keep it up?
    If you don't let no-one look into your heart
    As a kid, you couldn't live it up
    You were so serious but always so smart
    As a kid, you couldn't keep it up
    And we were never close, so much apart
    Here comes the sun smiling
    How long have you been blue?
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    There was a time when you were being so proud
    Could have been anythin' that you aspired
    There was a time when you were never around
    When somethin' good happened, somethin' good happened right
    So sister love, I'll help you off the ground
    You got to let someone look into your heart
    You got to turn this situation around
    You got to turn this, turn it around
    Here comes the sun smiling
    How long have you been blue?
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    'Cause it's plain to see
    A storm is not the weather
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    7 days you should be givin' yourself
    All your belongings, all that you treasure
    7 weeks you think of nobody else
    Is this what you want, is this what you are?
    How did it come this far?
    Here comes the sun smilin'
    The only thing that's true
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    'Cause it's plain to see
    A storm is not the weather
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
