50 Years Later, This Canberra Apollo-Era Antenna Still Talks to Voyager 2

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has honored Deep Space
Station 43 (DSS-43) as an IEEE Milestone in March 2024 during a ceremony
held at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex in Australia.

Today more than 40 percent of all data retrieved by celestial explorers,
including Voyagers, New Horizons, and the Mars Curiosity rover, comes
through DSS-43.

In fact it is the only antenna remaining on Earth capable of communicating
with Voyager 2.
