note: #DSN uses a “follow the sun” approach for operating antennas, so the antennas at #MDSCC in #Madrid are currently being operated by the ops team at #CDSCC in #Canberra since it’s day time here in #Aus & night time in Spain 🙃

normally there’s only a skeleton maintenance crew on site at the Deep Space Communication Complexes overnight but I expect there are some additional staff on site (or on call) just in case for such important mission support

you can see what’s happening on the #DSN Now website, part of #NASA’s #EyesOn visualisation tools

https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now/dsn.html

antennas showing “ART2” are currently in direct comms with #ArtemisII & antennas showing “DSN” are mostly^ tasked to #Artemis mission support but not currently communicating with the spacecraft

– antennas with “squiggly lines” going in both directions are both transmitting & receiving data (Tx & Rx)

– antennas with a squiggly line going in one direction is currently either transmitting or receiving data

– antennas with a sine wave line have carrier lock but aren’t transmitting or receiving (not shown)

– details about the comms for the selected antenna are shown in the panel at the bottom of the page

you can see in the attached pic that antennas DSS-54 & DSS-56 at #MDSCC (the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex) are currently communicating with ArtemisII – 54 is both Tx & Rx on S-band & 56 is Rx on S-band and data rates look great

^ I say “mostly” ‘coz “DSN” usually means testing or maintaining – one or two antennas may be undergoing maintenance atm rather than supporting ArtemisII, I don’t have complete visibility of the antenna schedule 💁‍♀️

comms will switch over from #TDRS to the #DeepSpaceNetwork soon – sending good vibes to [@]nascom1 & my other friends in #DSN spacecraft ops out at the #CDSCC in Tidbinbilla who are about to take the reins 💕 🖖

“#Austria’s counter-intelligence can do little: under Austrian law, #espionage cannot be prosecuted unless it is carried out against national interest. Despite the #DSN’s recommendations, Vienna has shown little interest in expelling diplomats or taking other measures against Russian operatives.

The DSN provided the government with a list of people it knows operate #Russia’s secret signals #intelligence stations in #Vienna.”

" Je fais du théâtre avec parfois des degrés de pessimisme. Comme dans la tragédie grecque. Je mets le pessimisme dans le théâtre pour garder l’optimisme dans la vie". Entretien avec Tiago Rodrigues, dramaturge et metteur en scène, directeur du festival d'Avignon.

Il évoque ses deux pièces "Chœur des amants", jouée à la scène nationale de Dieppe et "La Distance", présentée au Volcan au Havre.
