Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: ESA's New Norcia station, DSA-1 (Deep Space Antenna-1), hosts a 35 m-diameter parabolic antenna and is located 140 km north of Perth, Western Australia, close to the town of New Norcia. DSA-1 communicates with deep-space missions, typically at ranges in excess of 2 million km. It is also capable of supporting the ultra-precise 'delta-DOR' navigation technique.
On 14 December 2013, New Norcia station supported the powered descent of China's Chang'e-3 Moon mission; the station measured the Doppler shift of signals from the spacecraft. Recording this helped Chinese engineers to reconstruct the trajectory for future reference. See ESA teams ready for Moon landing More information on New Norcia Station |
