However, the dish of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope is 2.34 acres large and measures 300 feet in diameter—quite a bit larger than the average West Virginia driveway. So, how exactly ...

NRAO is part of facilities like the Green Bank Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) which could be used to relay data from the proposed space telescope.

In this paper, we describe the implementation of an optical quadrant detector instrument that can detect and provide a correction signal for wind-induced pointing errors on the 100 m diameter Green ...
