The Antarctic continent has the combined advantage for the installation of astroparticle detectors: (a) enough infrastructure in Antarctic stations, and (b) low geomagnetic field rigidity cut off, which allows the arrival of a huge flux of low energy particles, permitting a large amount of information related with physical processes in space.LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) is a collaboration, forming a net of cosmic rays detectors based on water Cherenkov radiation. LAGO has nodes spanning from Mexico to Antarctica. Antarctic LAGO nodes allow to study particle fluxes that in middle latitudes won?t be able to reach ground level since they are shielded by the geomagnetic field.In this work, we will present results of the deployment and installation of a Space Weather laboratory, developed by the LAMP group (Laboratorio Argentino de Meteorología del esPacio, the Argentinean Space Weather Laboratory) during January-March 2019 at the Argentine Marambio station.This Antarctic laboratory has a LAGO node (i.e. a Water Cherenkovdetector) in operations from March 2019. We also present the improved facilities of the laboratory and improvements of the operations of the detector developed during January-March 2020The calibration and first results of the cosmic rays detector will alsobe presented, as well the operative use of the real time data, which are transmitted to the servers of LAMP in Buenos Aires, and are publicly offered, and used to operative Space Weather activities by LAMP
