Our 35 and 4.5 metre antennas in New Norcia, Australia, have now moved into position: pointing at the region of the sky they expect to receive #AcquisitionOfSignal from #ESAJuice in ~ 10 mins

#Estrack ground stations: all GO for launch📡✅

This graph (spectrum analyser) will reveal the first signs of life of #ESAJuice.

As our ground station in New Norcia, Australia, gets #AcquisitionOfSignal - expect that flat (ok wiggly flat) line to spike! (Ok a curvy spike)
