Arrived at last to Colonia, to the space station Bisley Landing in the Benzaiten system...

This small pocket of civilization is a perfect respite from the solitude of the deep black...

It will only be a short rest in Colonia, however, as the Perseus Reach Expedition continues, and the largely unexplored Perseus Arm of the Milky Way lies just ahead, and the farthest reaches of the Abyss on the horizon

Landed at a space station for the first time in 2 months...

Commencing rest and repairs at Vihara Gate in the Kashyapa system, a station orbiting a natural ringed Earth-like world...

This planet has a year only 32 days long, in tight orbit of its relatively cool M-class star

Spending some time repairing and refueling while relatively relaxing with the meager accommodations available at Base Camp asteroid station in the Soul Nebula...

This is the very last station along the rest of the Perseus Reach Expedition; the expedition is for small ships only and is scheduled to skirt along the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way on the way to Beagle Point and beyond...

The deep darkness of the Formidine Rift is just ahead, and for many months, civilization will be very far behind

This 26 meter (85 foot) antenna operated in Woomera (Island Lagoon), Australia at Deep Space Station (DSS) 41, established in August 1960. The Island Lagoon site was the first deep space station to be established outside the United States and the first Australian antenna NASA built. The station was operated by the Australian Department of Supply and helped support the Ranger and early Mariner missions, as well as communications from the Deep Space Network (DSN) complex in Goldstone, California via a moon bounce. Woomera’s antenna ceased operations in 1972.

Deep Space Station 35 Being Installed

An animation, captured from a live webcam, of the Deep Space Station (DSS) 35 antenna being installed  in Canberra, Australia. Located at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, the 125 tonne parabolic dish was lifted into position on top of the antenna base structure for our newest antenna, Deep Space Station 35. Several webcams caught the action.
