Information is given about status of the 70 m antenna in Yevpatoria (Ukraine) with recent results. A new S-X band receiver front-end has been installed made by 'Saturn' in Kiev [6]. Apart from the transmitting equipments (P-band and Cband) and older receiving equipments, new radio astronomy receiver front-ends have been recently installed. This paper reports about antenna status, addressing some critical antenna parameters. Tests have been carried out in different frequency bands. Reception of signals from Mars Express and Rosetta was done. A radio science receiver configuration with real time Fourier transformation has been used to inspect spectra and assess frequency, without demodulation. Indications are given for future activities. 'Non-technical' aspects are indicated as well: progress depends not always on instrumentation, radiophysical or electro-mechanical knowledge and related parameter settings.

The current situation with the Evpatoria 70-m antenna is described. This unique 70-meter radio-telescope antenna (RT-70) was realised between 1973 and 1978 and was an important element in different missions as antenna in transmit-receive mode for instance for the missions like Venera, Granat, Interbol, etc. It was and is used in other modes like radar for planetary and asteroid investigations as well as radio telescope. Its current state is such that after and with the necessary maintenance the tasks can be continued and expanded. Technical activities are carried out today with involvement of the first author for the technical management on behalf of the Ukrainian Space Agency, in panicular today the "Interferometer" -project be mentioned. The potential for future use is briefly indicated.
