Radioastrophysical Observatory Badary, Radio telescope observatory in Tunkinsky District, Russia.
Description
The Radioastrophysical Observatory Badary is a research facility in Tunkinsky District featuring a 32-meter radio telescope positioned at high elevation in a mountainous location. The telescope observes cosmic phenomena and solar activity, operating across multiple frequency bands as part of international radio astronomy networks.
History
The observatory was established in the 1980s as part of a Soviet scientific initiative to build a national network for radio interferometry observations. It has functioned continuously as a research station for international collaboration in radio astronomy since its foundation.
Culture
The observatory strengthens international scientific partnerships by connecting researchers who study radio-wave astronomy and conduct solar physics experiments.
Practical
This site is located in a remote mountain region with limited road access, making visits challenging during winter months. Summer is the more suitable season for accessing the facility.
Did you know?
This facility works closely with a neighboring solar radio station equipped with specialized antennas for microwave solar observations. The partnership allows for more complete research into solar phenomena than either station could accomplish independently.
