Kraus-type radio telescope
Type of radio telescope designed by American astrophysicist John D. Kraus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kraus-type radio telescope design was created by Dr. John D. Kraus (1910–2004).
Kraus-type telescopes are transit instruments, where the flat primary mirror reflects radio waves towards the spherical secondary mirror, which focuses it towards a mobile focal carriage.[1] The primary tilts north–south to select any object near the meridian,[2] while the focal carriage moves east–west along railroad ties to track objects near transit.[1]
