Ukrainian T-shaped Radio telescope, second modification

The UTR-2 telescope consists of 2040 dipole elements arranged in two perpendicular arms, forming a T-shaped configuration across 150,000 square meters.

The Institute of Radio Astronomy of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences completed the construction of this advanced radio telescope facility in 1972.

Scientists from multiple countries collaborate at the UTR-2 facility to conduct research in radio astronomy and contribute to space exploration knowledge.

The telescope operates at frequencies between 8 and 33 MHz, making it effective for studying celestial radio sources at decameter wavelengths.

The north-south arm contains 1440 elements spanning 1800 meters, while the east-west arm incorporates 600 elements across 900 meters.
