Sagamore Hill Radio Observatory, Radio telescope observatory in Hamilton, Massachusetts
The Sagamore Hill Radio Observatory contains multiple antennas and instruments designed to monitor solar activity and collect data about radio emissions from space.
The observatory initiated its solar patrol operations in 1966 as part of the United States Air Force Research Laboratory's space weather monitoring program.
Scientists and researchers from various institutions gather at this facility to study solar phenomena and contribute to the Radio Solar Telescope Network.
The facility operates daily with specialized equipment including Radio Interference Monitoring Sets consisting of three dishes and a Solar Radio Spectrograph with two antennas.
