Radioastrophysical Observatory Badary

The Badary Radio Astronomical Observatory contains a 32-meter radio telescope designed for studying cosmic phenomena and solar activities at 813 meters elevation.

The Institute of Applied Astronomy established the observatory in 1984 as a component of the Russian VLBI network QUASAR under Russian Academy of Sciences direction.

The observatory strengthens international scientific partnerships by connecting researchers who study radio-wave astronomy and conduct solar physics experiments.

Located 130 kilometers east of Lake Baikal, the facility operates across frequency bands from 1380 MHz to 18 GHz for QUASAR VLBI observations.

The observatory works with the nearby Siberian Solar Radio Telescope, which uses two arrays of 2.5-meter parabolic antennas for microwave solar observations.
