DSS-43 maintenance
The 70m antenna at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC), DSS-43, has been offline since March for a Depot Level Maintenance period. As noted yesterday, it recently communicated with the Voyager 2 spacecraft, demonstrating it is operational. However, there are still several months to go before the upgrade project is complete, with the 70 metre antenna is complete due to return to full service in early February 2021.
