Evpatoria Observatory, Radio telescope facility in Yevpatoria, Crimea
The Evpatoria Observatory contains a massive radio telescope with a 70-meter diameter antenna for collecting signals from deep space and planetary studies.
The facility opened in 1980 and served as a critical component in the Soviet space program, supporting missions like the Venera Venus exploration series.
The observatory earned international recognition through its participation in multiple programs designed to detect and communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations.
Located in the Molochno Village Council area, the observatory operates across wavelengths from 0.1 cm to 6 cm for varied astronomical investigations.
The facility appears on Russia's commemorative 100-ruble banknote from 2015, featuring its distinctive radio telescope structure against the landscape.
