The present energy intensive electrically powered still at the Venus Deep Space Station (DSS 13) has reached its end-of-life. The electric still has been producing the pure water required for cooling the 400-kW klystron tube of the Venus 26-m antenna at Goldstone, California. A new passive solar still, unique to the Goldstone complex, has been designed to replace the electric still. This new system will deliver 100% of the pure water requirement for cooling the klystron tube and will consume an insignificant amount of electrical energy. Construction will be completed by the end of 1981, followed by a one-year test and evaluation period to gather data on performance characteristics.
