107 Inch Telescope At McDonald To Aid NASA
The 107-inch telescope project at McDonald Observatory covers mirror production at Corning in Bradford PA, metalwork by Westinghouse in Sunnyvale CA, and architecture by Austin firms. NASA NSF UT Austin funding supports computer controlled optics, housing facilities, and related radio astronomy programs at Mitchell Flats and Mount Locke for broad research use.
