Radomes can be constructed in several shapes – spherical, geodesic, planar, etc. – depending on the particular application, using various construction materials such as fiberglass, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated fabric, and others.
The first geodesic dome was designed after World War I by Walther Bauersfeld, [1] chief engineer of Carl Zeiss Jena, an optical company, for a planetarium to house his planetarium projector. An initial, small dome was patented and constructed by the firm of Dykerhoff and Wydmann on the roof of the Carl Zeiss Werke in Jena , Germany .
RAF Fylingdales consisted of three 130-foot (40 m) diameter 'golfballs' or geodesic domes containing mechanically steered radar. Operation of the Fylingdales site transferred to RAF Fighter Command on 15 January 1964 [7] although the site became operational on 17 September 1963. [8] [9] It became a local tourist attraction as a result. [10]

Klein quartic with 28 geodesics (marked by 7 colors and 4 patterns). In geometry, a geodesic (/ ˌ dʒ iː. ə ˈ d ɛ s ɪ k,-oʊ-,-ˈ d iː s ɪ k,-z ɪ k /) [1] [2] is a curve representing in some sense the shortest [a] path between two points in a surface, or more generally in a Riemannian manifold.
At the time, eight radomes were now present at Menwith Hill, connecting it with other sites in the NSA's satellite communications network and alleged to allow the surveillance of communications in foreign countries. [15] In response to the article the NSA said "We do radio relays - material comes in from a variety of places and is rerouted.
