ESA's deep space antennas will support this first ever commercial Moon landing with our #Estrack network, a global system of ground stations providing links between satellites and spacecraft and ESA's ESOC in 🇩🇪. Best wishes for a successful landing @ispace_inc! https://twitter.com/esaoperations/status/1650761194314121217
JUICE is now being tracked by the 35m antenna located in Estrack's Malargüe ground station near Malargüe, Argentina.

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)

Tomorrow evening, @NASA@twitter.com's #DARTmission crashes into #asteroid #Dimorphos
ESA's #Estrack network will be tracking the event, our astronomers will be watching the plume created with telescopes on the ground and our #HERAmission is getting ready to fly out and study the results!🪨
