RT-70
There are three radio telescopes designated RT-70, all in countries that were once part of the former Soviet Union, all with similar specifications: 70m dishes and an operating range of 5–300 GHz. They are a part of the former Soviet [Deep Space Network], now operated by Russia. The Yevpatoria facility has also been used as a radar telescope in observations of space debris and asteroids.
With their 70m antenna diameter, they are among the largest radio telescopes in the world.
They are:
- the Yevpatoria RT-70 [radio telescope] at the former soviet Center for [Deep Space Communications] or West Center for Deep Space Communications, Yevpatoria, Crimea, Ukraine.
- the Galenki RT-70 radio telescope at the East Center for Deep Space Communications, Galenki, Russia.
- the Suffa RT-70 radio telescope at the Suffa Radio Observatory on the Suffa plateau, Uzbekistan. Never completed.
