Summary

Description
English: 330-PS-9203 (USN 710273) The largest steerable radio telescope in the United States to date has recently been completed at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Maryland Point Observatory in Charles County, Maryland. The new Navy instrument, an 84-foot parabolic antenna or “dish,” was designed by the D.S. Kennedy Company of Comasset, Massachusetts. The aluminum reflector is carried on a polar or equatorial mount, can be aimed at any point in the sky, and can be track celestial objects from horizon to horizon. It is the largest antenna in the world with this type of mounting. The telescope will be used for studying the radiation of the Sun and Moon in detail, for searching for radiation from the Galaxy, and for pin-pointing optically invisible objects, 20 October 1958. Mr. H.H. Sloanmaker, Naval Research Laboratory, is shown at the control console powering the 84-foot reflector at the colliding galaxies in the constellation. (10/28/2014).
