Control Room
Although the radio telescope at Mt Pleasant wasn't doing scientific work on the day we visited, we were kindly given a tour of the facilities and even shown how the dish itself was maneuvered. The control room was filled with electronic instruments I remember from the days when studying a unit of electrical engineering in the 1970s (before I decided it wasn't a career option for me). But there is some very recent equipment here as well. You can see the computer box from SpaceX, as this telescope also monitors their satellites in space.
No AI was used in the making of these photos or in the writing of the descriptions. It is all my own work.
