Hat Creek Radio Observatory is located approximately 467 km (290 mi) northeast of San Francisco, California at an elevation of 986 m (3235 ft) above Sea Level in Hat Creek, California (in Shasta County). Latitude: 40° 49' 03" N; longitude: 121° 28' 24" W. The nearest large city to Hat Creek is Redding, California on highway I-5.
By agreement between the UC Berkeley Radio Astronomy Laboratory (RAL) and the SETI Institute, the needs of conventional radio astronomy determined the pointing of the array up until 2012. The ATA is planned to comprise 350 6 m dishes and will make possible large, deep radio surveys that were not previously feasible.
Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico with its 300 m (980 ft) dish was one of the world's largest filled-aperture (i.e. full dish) radio telescopes and conducted some SETI searches. MOP drew the attention of the United States Congress, where the program met opposition [27] and canceled one year after its start. [26]
Hat Creek is situated at an elevation of 3,422 feet (1,043 m). [2] Its population is 266 as of the 2020 census, down from 309 from the 2010 census. Hat Creek is located 26 miles (42 km) north of Lassen Park, 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Burney (9 miles (14 km) south of the junction of hwy 89 and 299), and 15 miles (24 km) south of Burney Falls ...
Hat Creek Radio Observatory, Hat Creek, California, US 0.5–11.5 GHz 42 6-m gregorian offset dishes using log periodic cooled feed covering 0.5–11.5 GHz. Operated by joint agreement between SRI International and the SETI Institute: ARO 12m Radio Telescope: Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, Arizona, US
Until 2012, RAL maintained a radio astronomy observatory at Hat Creek, near Mt. Lassen. [1] It continues to support on-campus laboratory facilities in Campbell Hall. From 1998 to 2012, the RAL collaborated with the SETI Institute of Mountain View California to design, build and operate the Allen Telescope Array (ATA).
As a graduate student, she was inspired to do SETI research by the Cyclops Report. Stuart Bowyer gave her the report to read when Bowyer discovered that Tarter could program the then-outdated PDP-8/S computer that had been donated by Jack Welch for Bowyer's SETI a project at Hat Creek Radio Observatory.
It incorporated dishes from the MMA, the former Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array at Hat Creek Radio Observatory, and the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich Array. [10] It was decommissioned in 2015. The C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) was a 6.1 m (20 ft) telescope used to survey the sky in the C band in support of Cosmic microwave background ...
