One-Mile Telescope, Radio interferometer at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cambridge, Great Britain
The One-Mile Telescope features three 18-meter diameter dishes, with two fixed antennas and one movable dish on an 800-meter rail track.
Constructed in 1964, this telescope made significant contributions to the 5C catalogue of radio sources through aperture synthesis interferometry techniques.
The telescope's innovations in Earth-rotation aperture synthesis influenced the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Martin Ryle and Antony Hewish.
The telescope operates at frequencies of 408 MHz and 1.4 GHz, achieving angular resolutions of 80 and 20 arcseconds respectively for astronomical observations.
The movable antenna travels at speeds up to 6.4 kilometers per hour along the track, enabling precise measurements at multiple observation points.
