PrimaLuceLab team installed more SPIDER 500A radio telescopes at the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences & Technology! In April 2019 we installed the first 5 meter diameter radio telescope and now we added two more in preparation to use together as the first interferometry array composed of SPIDER radio telescopes!
PrimaLuceLab team completed the installation of the 5 meter radio telescope that will be used by Telecommunication Institute of Aveiro (Portugal). SPIDER 500A will be remotely controlled thanks to the Networking Module for RadioUniversePRO software.
EAGLE is the control and power unit for telescopes and astrophotography that changed the game in the way astrophotographers record pictures of the Universe. By including a full Windows 10 Enterprise computer with 8 USB ports, 7 power out ports also for dew heaters and remote control capabilities (both with WiFi…
Partial lunar eclipse of July 16th in Italy gave us a great opportunity to test the new Borg 90FL f3.9 fluorite apochromatic refractor with ESATTO 3” microfocuser and, thanks to its extreme portability, we moved to Dolomites, one of the most beautiful part in the italian Alps and Unesco World Heritage!…
The 3 meter radio telescope is controlled remotely by the University of Cape Town thanks to the Networking Module for RadioUniversePRO software: it allows work out plenty of radio astronomy programs for education. PrimaLuceLab team completed the installation and recorded the first light!
Weather conditions in UK are generally bad for astronomy since rains are very common in all the year. But for radio astronomy, especially at 1420 MHz, the weather condition is not a problem and Radio2Space radio telescopes have been design for this task too! That’s why we just installed the…
Radio2Space SPIDER 500A, the 5 meter diameter professional radio telescope, has been installed at the Sharjah Center for Astronomy & Space Sciences, close to Dubai in the United Arabic Emirates. In the picture, from the right: Filippo Bradaschia (PrimaLuceLab president), Issam S. Abujami (SCASS IT & System Specialist), Professor Ilias…
Radio astronomy is a fascinating science and it studies the Universe by detecting radio emission from many objects like the Sun, the Milky way, planets, galaxies and nebulas. In this presentation Filippo Bradaschia, PrimaLuceLab president and co-founder, gives an overview on radio astronomy history and basic physics. Then he introduces the most important radio sources in the Universe and the SPIDER affordable radio telescopes developed by PrimaLuceLab with Radio2Space brand. These instruments allow any school, university, museum or science institute to make real radio astronomy with powerful but affordable, compact and easy to use radio telescopes.
We installed one of our SPIDER 300A advanced radio telescopes in Dr. Karl Remeis Observatory for the Astronomy Institute of Erlangen-Nuernberg University in Bamberg, Germany. The radio telescope is composed by the 3 meter antenna with computerized weatherproof mount installed in front of the observatory and the 1420 MHz H142-One radio astronomy…
The advanced radio telescope SPIDER 300A has been installed in New Mexico Tech college in Socorro (USA), headquarter of Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)! The new SPIDER 300A will be used for research in radio astronomy and for students alike. Astrophysics…
