The
Sardinia Radio Telescope
(SRT) is a new general purpose, fully steerable, 64-meter
parabolic antenna of the National Istitute for Astrophysics
(INAF). It is currently under construction in Sardinia,
in the Pranu Sanguni area, 35 km far from Cagliari, the
Sardinia capital city. Having several focal positions and
large frequency coverage, SRT is conceived as a modern and
versatile instrument. The project, designed for Radioastronomy,
Geodesy and Space Science applications, is founded by the
Italian Mininstry of University and Research, by Italian
Space Agency, and by the Sardinia Regional Government, and
it is part of a large program of scientific and technological
development in Sardinia. In the following you can see some
pictures from the construction site. |
