LITTLE STAR - A TOP SECRET SOVIET MILITARY BASE ON THE COAST OF THE BALTIC SEA
The 32m radio telescope is located in a forest 30 km north of Ventspils, Latvia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The whole military base included 3 radio telescopes: 32m, 16m and 8m as well as all the necessary infrastructure for up keeping over 2000 scientists, generals and soldiers with their families (i.e. a kindergarten, school, shops, technical support houses, 4 block houses with 260 flats, post office etc.) in an area over 400ha. The secret code name for this place was “Звёздочка” (a Little Star) and the road going through the town was “Набережная” (Riparian).
VIRAC
Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre currently consists of a 32-metre, fully steerable parabolic, centimeter-wave range antenna (RT-32) and a 16-metre diameter antenna (RT-16). It was built by the Russian Navy in late 1960 but the town itself dates from 1946. In 1994, when Russian army pulled out of Latvia, the withdrawing troops poured acid on the telescope's motors, cut all the cables, took away all the documentation and destroyed much of the surrounding infrastructure. Since 1994, the radio telescopes have been repaired.
The largest radio telescope in northern Europe is now used for science:
The detection, analysis and processing satellite images and satellite navigation signals,
Sun observations in microwave range,
Participation into European VLBI (Very Large Base Interferometry) Network,
The research of efficiency of electric drive control and adaptation of antenna control and data registration software of RT-32 for work in EVN,
Finding and observations of space debris,
To monitor the stars for possible signs of intelligent life outside the Solar System.

London bus route 430 is unique: it runs only on Christmas Day; it is the only route running in London on that day; and travelling is free!
In 2021 it was operated by RTs 2043 (1950s Vintage Bus Hire) and 4779 (London Bus Museum). Here RT 2043 stands at the Putney Bridge station terminus.
