As the sun is setting over the Australian outback, the workers can finally rest after tirelessly crowning ESA\u2019s future deep-space antenna: New Norcia 3. For over a day, they used an enormous crane on the island-continent capable of lifting this colossal antenna dish weighing 122 tonnes and measuring 35 metres in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>With the antenna dish and its antenna quadrupole now installed, ESA is on track to inaugurate its fourth deep-space station by the end of 2025. Referred as NNO-3, the New Norcia 3 antenna will allow space-faring missions to send and receive more data from the ground: precious data collected from onboard scientific instruments, but also vital flight instructions for mission operations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<label style=\"display: block; font-size: 0.9em; color: #8197A6; margin: 3rem 0 -1rem 0;\">Embed code<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<textarea rows=\"4\" cols=\"60\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ESA crowns new deep-space antenna in Australia\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QZagGMcvprM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/textarea><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2024\/10\/ESA_crowns_new_deep-space_antenna_in_Australia?rand=772187\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This September, the construction of the New Norcia 3 deep-space antenna completed a critical milestone with the lift of its 122-tonne satellite dish.
