The Suffa RT-70 radio telescope (Russian: Суффа РТ-70) is an RT-70 radio telescope at the Suffa Radio Observatory on the Suffa plateau in Uzbekistan.
History
[edit ]Construction began in the late 1980s but was put on hold when the Soviet Union fell and the Uzbekistani government abandoned the project. As of 2008[update] , the Russian government had resumed the construction of the site,[1] with an updated emphasis on millimeter-wave band observations at 100–300 GHz. As of 2014[update] , construction was reported to be 50% complete.[2] However any construction has stopped and the construction site has been abandoned.
With its 70m antenna diameter, this third unit of the RT-70 telescope was designed to be one of three similar radio telescopes.
Two completed RT-70 telescopes are:
- Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope – at the Center for Deep Space Communications, Yevpatoria, Crimea
- Galenki RT-70 radio telescope – at the Ussuriysk Astrophysical Observatory, Russia
