ATNF Outreach Workshop 3 December 2003 Parkes Discovery Walk ATNF Outreach Workshop 3 December 2003

Concept Radio Astronomy `Heritage Theme Park’ Collect & preserve keystone instruments Location: Parkes Observatory Open to the public Walk through the history of radio astronomy Interpretive boards describing role of different instruments Highlight Australia’s leading role in the development of a new science Last chance to preserve hardware from the seminal decades of radio astronomy

Feature instrument 18m (60 foot) Kennedy Antenna Significant astronomical roles Considerable historical value To be retained by ATNF

Other possibilities: I Culgoora Radioheliograph Radioheliograph corner reflectors Radiospectograph antenna Fleurs Synthesis Tel. (6x13m) Chris Cross (12 x 6m) Shain Cross dipole Marsfield 4m antenna Sinclair collection Reber collection

Other possibilities: II Reconstructed section of Mills Cross prototype Potts Hill: Solar grating array (3m, India?) Dover Heights ‘Hole in the ground’ Luneberg Lens People’s antenna Student telescope

Layout & Logistics Land already available 135,000 visitors already Innovation trail: up to People’s Telescope Decision in principle Staged implementation Budget Possible support (CISCO, Argus, Engineers Corps…)

Last (but not least) Haystack Small Radio Telescope 2.3m, alt-az mount, full PC control 1.4 & 4.8GHz Scanning, digital, spectral line receiver Directly relevant to Parkes US$6K
