Howard E. Tatel 85-foot Radio Telescope, NRAO, Green Bank, West Virginia
Wednesday’s mail brought me this “vintage” postcard of the Howard E. Tatel Radio Telescope. Built in 1958, the Tatel was the first major radio telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia. Also known as “85-1,” the scope has served as a fixed element in the Green Bank Interferometer (GBI) since 1964.
