As part of the 6 months of upgrade works on Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex’s 70-m antenna Deep Space Station 43, the antenna got a bath and repainted. Everything about the upgrades for this antenna is big, this included. Have a look at the shots below, comparing before, part way through the wash, and then after the paint (click on the photo for a larger version).

Doesn’t DSS43 look amazing?
