Abstract
We present a feasibility study for a 64 m fully steerable parabolic radiote lescope capable of high efficiency operation at frequencies up to 100 GHz. If funds are made available, and construction rapidly started, the antenna would be available in time to be used as a tracking station for the Cassini radio science experiments.
