Highest resolution imaging in astronomy is achieved by interferometry, connecting telescopes over increasingly longer distances and at successively shorter wavelengths. Here, we present the first ...

A radio interferometer array operating at 20 GHz would be developed at Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I) soon. The work on developing state-of-the-art interferometer, which is perhaps the ...

MOUNT WILSON, Calif.-Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) and the French company ALPAO have signed a contract for the development of an adaptive optics ...

South Africa is becoming one of the world’s most important radio astronomy hubs, thanks in large part to its role as co-host of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Now a new telescope is being unveiled ...

After 400 years, the original telescope design is getting a major upgrade. Part of a DARPA funded project, Lockheed Martin's Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-optical Reconnaissance ...

Georgia State’s CHARA array is an optical interferometer located on Mount Wilson, California CREDIT Georgia State University Plans are underway to add a seventh movable telescope to Georgia State ...

A high-precision fiber laser system developed by NKT Photonics and TeraXion is at the heart of a major new astronomical observatory that has just started operations – the Atacama Large ...

EADS is exploring potential adaptation of the Eurohawk electronic intelligence (ELINT) -gathering interferometer array for use as the basis of a "Wild Weasel" unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV). The ...

Hypertelescope capable of direct high-resolution imaging with a high limiting magnitude have been built and tested on Earth. The Hypertelescope group have proposed giant telescopes 10-25 kilometers ...

The design of telescopes hasn't changed much since Galileo used one to gaze at the moon 400 years ago. But they could be about to undergo a radical makeover. Engineers at defence firm, Lockheed Martin ...

The size and weight of advanced astronomical telescopes pose a constant challenge to engineers aiming to launch them into Earth orbit, so any routes to improve matters without compromising on ...
