Green Bank Interferometer from Buffalo Mountain, 1971

This is a photograph of the Green Bank 3-element Interferometer (GBI) looking from the west. The 300-ft and 140-ft telescopes are at left. The three telescopes of the GBI are, from front to back, the 85-2, the 85-3, and the 85-1 (Tatel Telescope). From 1978-1996, the GBI was operated in support of USNO and NRL geodetic and astronomy programs; after 1996 in support of NASA High Energy Astrophysics programs. The GBI monitoring program has ceased as of October 6, 2000, due to lack of funding.
