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 thearrival of a huge flux of low energy particles, permitting a large amount of information related with physicalprocesses in space.LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) is a collaboration, forming a net of cosmic rays detectors based onwater Cherenkov radiation. LAGO has nodes spanning from Mexico to Antarctica. Antarctic LAGO nodesallow to study particle fluxes that in middle latitudes won?t be able to reach ground level since they areshielded 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 SpaceWeather 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 andimprovements 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 LAMPin Buenos Aires, and are publicly offered, and used to operative Space Weather activities by LAMP
