STFC scientists have installed a new tool to support the Sardinia Radio Telescope to see further into the universe and enhance space weather forecasting.
This new tool called the Cryogenic Array Receiver for Users of the Sardinia Observatory (CARUSO), is an instrument which will enable the telescope to pick up entirely new signals from space.
CARUSO was designed and constructed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) RAL Space Millimetre Wave Technology Group (MMT Group), STFC Technology Department, and partners from The University of Manchester.
It is hoped that CARUSO will open new avenues of research at the internationally renowned Italian radio telescope.
