Scientific paper

To control and operate its spacecraft, ESA maintains a network of ground stations, which consists of several stations with 15 metre antennas using S-band frequencies for telemetry, command and tracking. This network has recently been augmented, in November 2002, with a ground station with a 35 metre-diameter antenna at New Norcia in Western Australia. The new station can transmit and receive at both S-band (2 GHz) and X-band (8 GHz) frequencies, and its mechanical structure will allow later upgrading for data reception in the Ka-band (32 GHz), which become the future international standard for deep-space missions.
