  Since December 2012, the Deep Space Antenna DS3 of the European Space Agency
was inaugurated in the province of Mendoza. The possibility of using this
equipment for space and scientific activities was promoted by our country.
Several scientific institutions in the country are working together so that
part of the observation time assigned to Argentina can be used by the
astronomical community. Some results have already been presented at meetings of
the AAA. Now the Deep Space antenna that China has installed in the province of
Neuquen as part of its Lunar Exploration Program is added to the Argentine
observational capabilities. This paper describes the characteristics of the new
station and the role that Argentina has in this project through its space
agency, CONAE.
