About this work
A crane lowers a four-legged support structure called a quadripod onto the steel framework of the Deep Space Station 23 (DSS-23) reflector dish on Dec. 18, 2024. The reflector framework was bolted into place earlier in the day, and the quadripod, which weighs 16 ½ tons, was the last major component to be installed that day. The reflector dish will be fitted with panels to create a curved surface to collect radio frequency signals.
