Detailed look at how the 70m DSS43 NASA Canberra Deep Space dish is used to talk to the Voyager 2 probe 17 billion km from earth. Part of the NASA/CSIRO Deep Space Communications Complex at Tidbinbilla in Canberra Australia. Huge thanks to Richard Stephenson who stayed back after a 12 hour night shift to record this!
