Here workers pour and smooth a levelling layer of concrete on the foundation of Deep Space Station 36 (DSS-36). The levelling layer insures that later layers are of uniform thickness. BWG antennas differ from other antennas in that the electronics used to receive and transmit signals are located in the pedestal room beneath the antenna rather than at the focal point of a dual reflector arrangement as in other antennas.
