  • Big Red Radio Telescope 12-Month Status Report
    WKU Sisterhood Grant 110222: Big Red Radio Telescope 12-Month Status Report Steven Gibson, November 11, 2020 1. Overview and Goals The Big Red Radio Telescope project is converting an old 10-foot satellite TV dish and receiving system into a scientific instrument that WKU students and faculty will use to explore the “invisible” universe for education, research training, and public outreach. Goals of this effort include: 1. Foster significant collaboration between the WKU astronomy, physics, and engineering pro- grams in the design and construction of the radio telescope. 2. Give students in these programs hands-on experience in many aspects of a complex technical project, providing invaluable professional training. 3. Augment student education and career training in several areas, including direct and remote astronomical observations, classroom demonstrations using live and recorded telescope data, computer interfacing and control systems, mechanical engineering design and build experience, and complex project management, coordination, and communication. 4. Working with WKU’s Hardin Planetarium, enrich public education and outreach to school groups and the broader community by using the telescope and related concepts to demonstrate the “invisible universe” revealed by radio waves; WKU students involved in this effort will also gain science education experience. 5. Raise the public profile of the University, and support its mission as a student-focused uni- versity serving the region and providing exposure to science and critical thinking, while also strengthening ties with the local community. This project has been going since 2016 but, with the help of the WKU Sisterhood, it should soon see the full assembly and installation of a working radio telescope.

  • Design and Construction of a Cost-Effective Parabolic Satellite Dish Using Available Local Materials
    International Journal of Advanced Materials Research Vol. 5, No. 3, 2019, pp. 46-52 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijamr ISSN: 2381-6805 (Print); ISSN: 2381-6813 (Online) Design and Construction of a Cost-effective Parabolic Satellite Dish Using Available Local Materials Gbadamosi Ramoni Adewale * Faculty of Science, National Open University of Nigeria, Akure, Nigeria Abstract Communication through satellite is very important at this information age. It can provide complete global coverage. It can be used to send and receive information in remote area where other technology may fail. Communication signals are sent in form of electromagnetic signal which are intercepted by the parabolic dish. The offered high-efficiency and high-gain by the parabolic dish makes it appropriate for direct broadcast satellite reception. However, parabolic dish procurement in developing countries is very expensive. This makes it to be unaffordable to majority of the masses. This paper focuses on design and construction of cheap parabolic satellite dish using local readily available materials. An indigenous technology is exploited to achieve the goal of this work. The paper describes from the scratch, how to design and construct a parabolic dish that can be used to intercept electromagnetic signals from the satellite stationed in the space. The proposed design approach offers a number of advantages such as cost-effectiveness and high simplicity. These are due to the fact that; it can be effectively developed with the easily available materials. Besides, it development demands neither special/long time training nor skill. Thus, both technical and non-technical personnel with minimal training can construct it either for commercial and/or personal use.
