AnimatedMess Cabin (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The crew mess: a wide portable unit with three windows, a roof mounted cooling unit and a flue, and a bench table on a hardstanding outside the door.
AnimatedBunk Cabin (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
Sleeping accommodation for a remote shift: a portable unit with small windows on three sides, a water tank cradle on the roof and a hinged door onto a step slab.
AnimatedAll Sky Camera Dome (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The all sky camera on its cabinet: a weatherproof base with the equipment door on the front and a rotating dome with a dark window that turns on its own node.
AnimatedSite Office Cabin (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The station office: a six metre portable unit on a plinth with a wide window, a canopy over the entrance step, an air conditioner on the roof and a hinged door.
GPS Reference Pillar (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A survey grade reference pillar: a cast monument on a spread footing with a forced centring plate, the antenna and its choke ring on top and a receiver box on the shaft.
Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A tipping bucket rain gauge on a short post: the collecting funnel in its housing, the logger box on the post and a small concrete footing.
AnimatedBattery Shed (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The battery room for the station: a ventilated white unit with intake slots across the front, a roof extract unit and a hinged door.
AnimatedWeather Mast with Anemometer (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A five metre lattice weather mast carrying a three cup anemometer that turns on its own node, a radiation shielded temperature probe and the logger box at the foot.
Bulk Fuel Tank (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The bunded fuel tank that feeds the generator: a horizontal vessel on concrete saddles with end bands, a fill point on top, a dispensing cabinet and a guard rail along the front.
Solar Panel Array (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A four module ground mounted solar array on a fixed tilted frame, with the string box at one end, sized to top up the station batteries between generator runs.
Cryogenic Receiver Dewar (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The vacuum dewar a cooled receiver lives in: an insulated vessel on four legs with a clamped flange, the cold head on top and two transfer lines rising from it.
AnimatedDiesel Generator Shed (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The standby generator shed: a lined unit with louvred air intakes, a radiator discharge on the front, an exhaust stack through the roof and a hinged door.
AnimatedHelium Compressor Shed (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The shed that holds the compressors for the cooled receivers: a small blockwork unit with louvred intakes down one side, an exhaust fan and a hinged door.
AnimatedSignal Equipment Rack (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A floor standing signal rack: seven blank equipment faces with indicator blocks, a fan tray on the roof and two mesh doors that swing open from the middle.
Control Room Cabin (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The cabin the station is run from: an open fronted unit under a deep roof with a desk across the back wall, three blank screens on stands, a shelf and a stool.
AnimatedSignal Junction Pit (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A cast junction pit where trench runs meet: a chamber with three cable ways across it, a red marker plate on the front and a steel lid hinged on its back edge that lifts open.
AnimatedCorrelator Cabin (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The cabin that holds the correlator: a five metre insulated unit on a plinth with roof mounted cooling units, an equipment intake on the front and a hinged personnel door.
Guyed Mast with Anchors (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A nine metre triangular lattice mast with a climbing ladder, a whip on the headframe and three guys running down to their own cast anchor blocks with lifting eyes.
Cable Trench Cover Run (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The precast cover that closes a cable trench: four slabs laid end to end with lifting eyes and the edge strips that seat them, ported to the same four metre module as the trench.
Open Cable Trench Section (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A four metre run of open cable trench: concrete kerbs either side, a sand bed between them, three bundled cables on it and the steel straps that hold them down.
Dipole Array Panel (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A flat eight element dipole array on a reflecting screen: two rows of crossed dipoles on stand-offs, a braced frame behind them and the combiner box at the foot.
Log Periodic Antenna (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A log periodic boom antenna on a short mast: nine elements shortening towards the feed end, staggered either side of the boom, with the balun box at the back.
Dish Feed Horn and Quadripod (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
A spare dish feed assembly on its transport frame: the flared horn, the receiver box behind it and the four legs that carry it at the focus, stood on a concrete pad.
AnimatedDish Transporter (Radio Telescope Array and Field Station)
The six wheeled low loader that moves a reflector across the site: a cab, a dropped bed with a cradle ring and stabiliser legs, and six wheels that roll on their own nodes.
