A crane lowers the steel reflector framework for Deep Space Station 23 into position Dec. 18 on a 65-foot-high (20-meter) platform above the antenna\u2019s pedestal that will steer the reflector. Panels will be affixed to the structure create a curved surface to collect radio frequency signals.<\/div>\n

After the steel framework of the Deep Space Station 23 reflector dish was lowered into place on Dec. 18, a crew installed the quadripod, a four-legged support structure that will direct radio frequency signals from deep space that bounce off the main reflector into the antenna\u2019s receiver.<\/div>\n
