Summary

Description
English: The Parkes radio telescope. The collecting area of the telescope is a 64-m diameter paraboloid (the dish). The surface is high precision aluminium millimetre wavepanels to a diameter of 17-m (for operation to 43 GHz), then perforated aluminium plate out to 45-m, and rectangular galvanised steel 5/16-inch mesh for the remainder of the surface. The aerial cabin, which houses feeds and receiver equipment, is supported by a tripod. The Parkes Observatory is situated near Alectown, 25 kilometres north of the town of Parkes which is approximately 365 kilometres west of Sydney. The Observatory is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) a division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The Parkes site contains a 64-metre RadioTelescope, an administration building with offices, workshops and library, an Observer's Quarters and Visitors Centre.

Polski: pl:Radioteleskop o średnicy 64 m w Parks w Nowej Południowej Walii, Australia Do skupiania fal radiowych teleskop wykorzystuje paraboliczną antenę o średnicy 64 m. Powierzchnia czaszy jest wyłożona gładkimi płytkami aluminiowymi do średnicy 17 m, dla pracy w paśmie do 43 GHz, dalej pokryta jest perforowanym aluminium do średnicy 45 m (perforacja jest konieczna, aby zmniejszyć ciężar i ładnie wygląda) i prostokątną siatką z prętów stalowych galwanizowanych 5/16 cala na pozostałej powierzchni. Zawieszona nad czaszą kabina, w której znajduje się kolektor i urządzenia odbiorcze podparta jest na trzech wspornikach. Obserwatorium w Parkes znajduje się niedaleko Alectown, 25 km na północ od miasta Perks, odległego od Sydney o 365 km. Teleksop stanowi część ATNF (ang. Australia Telescope National Facility), należącego do CSIRO (ang. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation). W Parks obok radioteleskopu umieszczono budynki administracyjne, warsztaty, bibliotekę oraz kwatery dla gości i centrum konferencyjne
