Single-Dish Radio and Millimetre Telescopes

Construction began in 1960, and the antenna began operating in 1964.

The observatory's main instrument was the Arecibo Telescope, a 305 m (1,000 ft) spherical reflector dish built into a natural sinkhole, with a cable-mount steerable receiver and several radar transmitters for emitting signals mounted 150 m (492 ft) above the dish.
