New radio telescope near Sydney aims for refined world lead
In Parks, 270 miles west of Sydney, Australia, a Radiophysics Division project builds a 210 foot wide radio telescope capable of tracking American and Russian satellites. The facility, costing 800000 Australian pounds, should be ready by July or August and will be the most refined in the world, surpassed only by a 250 foot dish at Jordell Bank, England. Meanwhile at St Simons Island, Sgt Carl Freudenberg from Parris Island, SC, broke his hand during a Sunshine Festival judo demonstration.
