Arthur E. Lilley, professor of Astronomy and member of the planning committee, said that the proposed telescope fills a need the U.S. has for a large "dish" of the size maintained by England and Australia...
...CAMROC proposed the telescope as a regional project, but suggested no specific location in New England. While the telescope must be positioned away from the radio disturbances of urban centers, it must also be accessible to the member colleges who will operate it. One plan considered would place the dish itself in an secluded location and put the control center in Cambridge...
...Dish engineering--The study will contemplate novel designs for the antenna beyond the usual paraboloid construction...
...Purcell said, Harvard and M.I.T. decided that the next logical step in their research was to build a large movable dish comparable to the biggest in the world. Such a dish, he said, would extend U.S. capabilities in the field to keep up with the most advanced work being done...
...Antenna Orchard. A receiver capable of picking up such distant signals is already within the technological capability of man, Oliver believes. He proposes an array of 10,000 dish antennas, each 100 ft. in diameter. With such an enormously sensitive radio telescope, he says, astronomers would be able to pinpoint the faintest radio signals coming down from space...
