This work intends the use of a Deep Space Antenna (DSA) designed for telecommunications in thedetection of individual radio signals, such as transient signals.The focus of the presented solution to the use of the DSA 3 in transient detection of radio signals, withinastronomical purposes, intents to be the least disruptive as possible for the terrestrial main mission,which is telecommunications.The proposed uses commercially available equipment (Commercial Off-The-Shelf or COTS), avoidingthe development of a made-to-measure hardware, in order to mitigate risks. Most of the remaining partsof the tool to implement is done by developing a processing software.
