Deep Space Communications Centre
Tidbinbilla, Canberra


The radio telescopes at Tidbinbilla are operated by the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, part of NASA's Deep Space Network. As part of the Host Country agreement with NASA, a fraction of the time on the Tidbinbilla DSS-43 70-m and DSS-34 34-m antennas is available to the Australian astronomical community. Since January 2003, the Australia Telescope National Facility has accepted applications for service observations with the 70-m antenna. Single-dish applications for the DSS-34 34-m antenna will be accepted from 2007APRS onwards.

The Tidbinbilla 70-m (DSS43) antenna and the 34-m (DSS-34) antenna are also used together with the Long Baseline Array and other radio telescopes, for Very Long Baseline Interferometry.

Main Dish - 70m

Not much to see when it's pointed up but when the dish is pointed out to the side it's a site to behold.
