Resumen:
In this contribution, the structure of the astrophysical data acquired by the Malargüe ground station, Deep Space Antenna 3 (DSA 3), which is part of the ESTRACK Network of the European Space Agency, is explained. The bases of the software pipeline used for reading, calculation, and analysis of the data are detailed.The tests were performed by observing radio-astronomical calibrating sources at X band with fixed gain. Due to the absence of a noise reference during the observation it was used a position switching technique with on-off cycles, the flux values obtained from the calibration sources were evaluated and were compared with the published data and models of each source.
