FAST is the first radio observatory built with SETI as a core scientific goal. [63] FAST consists of a fixed 500 m (1,600 ft) diameter spherical dish constructed in a natural depression sinkhole caused by karst processes in the region. It is the world's largest filled-aperture radio telescope. [64]

LaserSETI started in 2015 as a program of the SETI Institute, though the official name was not made public until 2016. Founded by Eliot Gillum, the project began with a small team dedicated to the design, construction and scientific priorities of ...
The Berkeley SETI Research Center also hosts the Breakthrough Listen program, [4] [5] [6] which is a ten-year initiative with $100 million funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent extraterrestrial communications in the universe, in a substantially expanded way, using resources that had not previously been extensively used for the purpose.
The SETI Institute started a refurbishment and upgrade program for the ATA in 2019, and in 2020 it also took over the operation of the observatory from SRI. The earliest experiments in millimeter-wave astronomy were performed at this site starting in the 1970s when a 2-element interferometer was constructed.
The region is unusually devoid of any nearby stars. The closest star systems in the approximate region of the signal include the binary star G 73-11A and B, which are 106.1 light-years from the Sun, although the unrelated star G 73-10 is only 108.7 light-years away, less than three light-years from G 73-11A and B.
