On 30 September 2013, the opening ceremony of SRT has signed the contractual ending of the instrumental commissioning of the Sardinia Radio Telescope. In February 2014 it has been completed also the “fine tuning process” aimed at defining the first optimizations parameters needed to make calibrated radio astronomical observations. Since then, the final Astronomical Validation, that was just started...
The 64-m Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) is a shaped dual-reflector antenna designed to optimize secondary-focus operations. A novel application of the SRT active primary reflector aimed at achieving efficient operations also at the primary focus is presented. To this purpose, we show how the panels of the shaped primary mirror can be moved to best fit a parabolic surface. The modified primary reflector...
The Sardinia Radio Telescope is approaching to its official inauguration. Nowadays, the technical staff is accomplishing the last remaining activities to set up and integrate the microwave receivers, the digital processing systems and all the equipment necessary to reach a top level in the international scenario of large radio telescopes. Even if the radio telescope is still along the technical commissioning,...
