P-400 is a radio telescope in Ukraine that operates at low frequencies to detect signals from distant stars, galaxies, and cosmic radiation. The facility uses signal processing technology to collect and analyze radio wave data for astronomical research.
The P-400 telescope was developed to advance radio astronomy in Ukraine and strengthen the country's scientific research capabilities. It has contributed to observations of pulsars and other cosmic phenomena since becoming operational.
Scientists and researchers from multiple institutions collaborate at the P-400 facility to conduct studies on pulsars, quasars, and interstellar phenomena.
Access to the facility is typically restricted since active research takes place at the site. Visitors should inquire in advance about whether public tours or visits are available.
Located within Ukraine's scientific infrastructure, the P-400 serves as both a research instrument and an educational platform for training future astronomers.
