Dedication of the VLBA, 20 August 1993
Description
Left to right: Miller Goss, Tim Cornwell, Bob Brown, Peter Napier, Dave Shaffer, Dave Finley (at podium), Dick Sramek. This ceremony was held in the VLBA Operations area of the Array Operations Center in Socorro. The map behind Peter Napier contains LEDs in the locations of the VLBA antennas. The table to the left of the podium holds a bar-code reader that was triggered by Sen. Pete Domenici, causing the VLBA antennas all to begin pointing at a specific source. Their azimuths and elevations began changing on the monitor behind Napier and, one by one, from East to West, the LEDs indicating the antennas lit up.
