Radiotelescope RT-64
radio telescope RT-64 (TNA-1500) It's not just huge, it's gigantic! The diameter of the main reflector is 64 m, the diameter of the secondary mirror is 6 m, the total weight is 3800 tons. The main research areas are: spectral radio astronomy, pulsar physics and pulsar astrometry, studies of galactic and extragalactic objects, and radiointerferometry with extra-long bases. In the observatory on a permanent basis employs 10 employees. The mirror can be rotated horizontally by 360 degrees, and vertically by more than 90 degrees. .The center in Kalyazin is a branch of the Center for Space Communications "Bear Lake". At 17 km from Moscow, in an area called Bear Lake, an identical radio telescope is located. Both radio telescopes are informationally related to each other and can be considered as a single complex..In 1983-84, RT-64 received radar data and a thermal map of the planet Venus, then participated in the Vega programs (1986), when the images of Halley's comet were taken, and Phobos (1988-89)..Of the 11 radio telescopes that existed at that time in the world, more than 60 m in diameter, three were located in Russia. In the severe 90-ies on RT-64 radio-astronomical studies were carried out without funding, by the efforts of several scientific institutes and staff of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute. The main thing is that these unique and beautiful global structures have survived to the present day and continue space research.
