About
Build a radio telescope site, from one dish behind a fence to a field station at the middle of an array. Every dish is the same three node altazimuth machine at nine, six and three metres: a static foundation and pedestal, an azimuth turret that slews about the vertical, a reflector parented to it that tilts about the yoke axle, and the quadripod feed and counterweight parented to the reflector so they travel with the bowl. Around them is what a dish is built and moved with: a pedestal base with its bearing ring, a spare feed horn on its quadripod, a counterweight block, a rail bogie whose carriage traverses and whose wheels roll, ported six metre rail track, and a six wheeled transporter. The smaller antennas are a pyramidal horn, a log periodic boom, an eight element dipole array panel and a nine metre guyed lattice mast with its anchors, with ported cable trench, trench cover and a junction pit whose lid lifts. The station is the correlator cabin, an open fronted control room with a desk of blank screens, a signal rack with two doors, a cryogenic receiver dewar, compressor, generator and battery sheds, a bulk fuel tank, a solar array, a water tank on its stand, a septic cover, the office, mess and bunk cabins, crates and a spares rack with drawers that pull out. The site is 8 m ground modules in two tones, track and hardstanding modules on the same grid, mesh fence panels and a gate that swings, a cattle grid, a forklift whose carriage lifts, a pickup, ladders, a safety cage, floodlights, a weather mast with a turning anemometer, a rain gauge, a GPS reference pillar, a rotating sky camera dome, a windsock, scrub, boulders, survey markers and blank warning and visitor boards. Rigid node transform clips only, no skinning, and no people. Cabling, guy wires and the windsock are modelled solid and never move, because flexible material needs a joint per element and a rigid node transform cannot deform a mesh; screen and sign faces are blank and static for the same reason, since display content needs a shader. Original AI assisted CC0 geometry: no observatory, array, agency, institute or equipment maker is named or depicted, and no real facility is reproduced.
