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.
