  • Ground control to Major Tom

    Everytime I visit this inspirational place I feel like Dr Arroway. I would like to sit at the hood of the car at dusk, listening to the radio noise received by the antenna.

  • Giant golf

    A sensitive antenna is mounted under the protective radom with a 0.9 mm thickness. This telescope was constructed at the same time as I was.

    The observatory site holds a beautiful location at the tip of the Råo peninsula. This is the Swedish national facility for radio astronomy.
