The Very Long Baseline Array is a series of ten radio antennas spread
across the United States and its territories from St. Croix, the Virgin
Islands, to Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The operations center for the array is
located in Socorro, New Mexico. Astronomical data from the observations
are recorded on digital tape at each antenna site. The tapes are then
shipped to the Socorro Operations Center where they are correlated and
the results sent to the scientists. For more information, see our VLBA overview page. You may also be interested in What's new. |
