Home›Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter Observatories›All Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesBrowse ByAll Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesRadio Dish on a MountReference and ClassificationDevelopingGround-based facilities that observe the sky at radio and millimeter wavelengths rather than visible light: the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Chile, the Very Large Array in New Mexico, and the Event Horizon Telescope, a global network of radio observatories linked to act as a single Earth-sized instrument. Belongs here: an Earth-based facility whose instruments detect radio or millimeter-wavelength radiation. Does not belong here: an Earth-based facility observing in visible light, grouped under Ground-Based Optical Observatories, or a facility in space, grouped under Space-Based Observatories.FactsAll Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField Origin EraWell-attested1932 1All Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesFilter Results28 entriesPlatformAllRadio and Millimetre Interferometer Arrays (16)Single-Dish Radio and Millimetre Telescopes (11)OperatorAllASTRON (2)CSIRO (3)European Southern Observatory (1)Green Bank Observatory (1)Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1)Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (1)National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (1)National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (1)National Radio Astronomy Observatory (3)National Research Council (Canada) (1)National Research Foundation of South Africa (1)Observatoire de Paris (1)SKA Observatory (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Central Florida (1)University of Chicago (1)University of Manchester (1)University of Toronto (1)Operational Start YearAll1956 (1)1957 (2)1959 (1)1961 (2)1963 (1)1964 (1)1970 (1)1972 (1)1980 (1)1982 (1)1988 (1)1993 (1)2001 (1)2007 (2)2010 (1)2013 (1)2016 (1)2017 (1)2018 (2)2019 (1)Observing BandAllMicrowave (3)Radio (25)LocationAllAntarctica (1)Australia (1)Australia (3)Canada (3)Chile (2)China (1)France (2)Germany (1)India (1)Japan (1)Netherlands (2)South Africa (3)United Kingdom (2)United States (5)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 28Algonquin Radio ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesArecibo ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesAtacama Cosmology TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesAtacama Large Millimeter ArrayGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesAustralia Telescope Compact ArrayGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesAustralian Square Kilometre Array PathfinderGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesCanadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping ExperimentGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesDominion Radio Astrophysical ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesEffelsberg 100-m Radio TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesEvent Horizon TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesFive-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesGiant Metrewave Radio TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesGreen Bank TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesHartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesHaystack ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesJodrell Bank ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesLOFARGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesMeerKATGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesMullard Radio Astronomy ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesNancay Radio ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesNobeyama Radio ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesNOEMA (IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer)Ground-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesParkes ObservatoryGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesSouth Pole TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesSquare Kilometre ArrayGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesVery Large ArrayGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesVery Long Baseline ArrayGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesWesterbork Synthesis Radio TelescopeGround-Based Radio and Millimeter ObservatoriesSources1.
