PART Telescopes – Bringing radio astronomy within reach of rural schools
Summary
PART Telescopes outlines a project to design and distribute low-cost radio telescopes for rural schools in Australia. Using a satellite dish, a conductive base, RTL-SDR hardware, and open software, the team aims to enable hands-on radio astronomy focused on the 21 cm hydrogen line, with a target cost under $500 and a plan to supply 25 units to rural institutions.
