In a remote location nearly 900 kilometers north of Perth, a once dormant dish is being brought back to life by Canadian aerospace company ThothX. After marking a significant milestone by receiving its first radar signal since 1987, the future of the dish demonstrates its potential in modern technology and surveillance. The manual adjustments and cleaning processes reveal the dedication and vision behind ThothX’s investment in the OTC dish, which could have far-reaching implications for tracking spacecraft and monitoring military activities in the Pacific theatre. With plans for further refurbishment and technical upgrades, the future of the dish holds promise and innovation.
