The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is the first radio telescope to be designed from the ground up to be used for SETI searches.Until its construction, all radio SETI efforts were dependent on the intermittent use of antennas built for conventional astronomical observations.

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA), formerly known as the One Hectare Telescope (1hT), is a radio telescope array dedicated to astronomical observations and a simultaneous search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

Oct 16, 2024 · It comprises an array of 42 antennas, each 6 meters in diameter, which can be simultaneously used for both SETI and cutting-edge radio astronomy research. The ATA is currently being upgraded with more sensitive receivers.

Many international radio telescopes are currently [when?] being used for radio SETI searches, including the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) in Europe, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Australia, and the Lovell Telescope in the United Kingdom. [31]

The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

From microbes to alien intelligence, the SETI Institute is America’s only organization wholly dedicated to searching for life in the universe. The first radio telescope to be designed from the ground up to be used for SETI searches.

The Hat Creek Radio Observatory (HCRO) is home to the SETI Institute’s Allen Telescope Array (ATA), the first and only radio telescope designed from the ground up to be used specifically for SETI searches.

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is the first radio telescope designed from the ground up for SETI searches. It consists of 42 dishes that can be used independently or together to search for radio signals from intelligence beyond Earth.

Feb 20, 2024 · CSIRO’s Parkes Radio Telescope is one of several telescopes aimed at the skies in humanity’s modern hunt for extraterrestrial life. Following in Drake’s footsteps, several astronomers...

Our DSS-28 radio telescope conducts regular observations of the sky, capturing radio signals that could potentially indicate extraterrestrial intelligence. We are looking for narrow-band radio signals that originate from within the galactic plane.
