	BBC ON THIS DAY \| 14 \| 1960: Radio telescope makes space history
		Jodrell first made contact with Pioneer V after it went into orbit around the Sun, between the paths of Earth and Venus.
		Shortly after launch, the Jodrell Bank telescope was used for the first time to give commands to a rocket in space.
		By pressing a button at Jodrell Bank, the 90lb (43kg) payload was separated from the third stage of the launching rocket.

	Jodrell Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jodrell Bank was the only installation in the world able to track Sputnik's booster rocket by radar, and the fame and income this brought in enabled the considerable construction debts to be paid off.
		In February 1966, Jodrell Bank tracked the USSR unmanned moon lander Luna 9 and listened in on its facsimile transmission of photographs from the moon's surface.
		Jodrell Bank Observatory is also the base of the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), a National Facility run by the University of Manchester on behalf of PPARC.

	Jodrell Bank
		The Jodrell Bank Observatory, near Macclesfield, Cheshire in the north west of England is a part of the University of Manchester.
		In 1987, on its 30th anniversary, the telescope was renamed the Lovell Telescope in Sir Bernard's honour.
		A second radio telescope, the Mark II, was built at Jodrell Bank in 1964, with a diameter of approximately 25 metres (it's parabolic, not circular), while a third telescope, the Mark III, located some 20 miles away near Nantwich is part of the Jodrell Bank Observatory.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Life \| The radio star
		Since the first giant radio telescope was constructed in the University of Manchester's botanical gardens at Jodrell Bank in 1947, the people of Macclesfield and the surrounding towns and villages have been justifiably proud of the landmark on their doorstep.
		Jodrell Bank's astronomers have watched nearby galaxies give birth to stars and identified bizarre sounding celestial objects such as quasars and gravitational lenses.
		Ian Halliday, the chief executive of PPARC (and nearly the man who closed Jodrell Bank), is reluctant to dwell on how much the history and prestige of the observatory influenced past decisions over its fate, but he is happy to talk about how they could be harnessed in the future.

	From Copernicus to Jodrell Bank
		There are very few members of the British public who have not heard of Jodrell Bank and there remains in the minds of many an exciting association between Jodrell Bank, satellites and manned discoveries in Space.
		Jodrell Bank is situated in rural Cheshire, near MacClesfield where the Radio Telescope dominates the skyline.
		The main purpose of the radio telescopes at Jodrell Bank (and an associated array elsewhere in England and Wales) is to pursue serious scientific research into the nature of the Universe, and owes its existence to the vision of one man - Sir Bernard Lovell.

		As well as ensuring that all the telescopes are working correctly and locked on to the required source position, the computers monitor the weather, the security of the site, and generally keep a watch over the telescopes in their charge.
		Jodrell Bank astronomres have had to devise new computation techniques to handle data from this "unfilled aperture" and generate high quality images.
		Jodrell Bank is fortunate in having access to the SERC Starlink network of astronomical computers, but the MERLIN workload is so high that a more powerful, dedicated machine is necessary.

	Jodrell Bank radio telescope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The 250-ft (76-m) dish at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire, was the world’s first large radio telescope.
		The unmistakable structure of the Jodrell Bank dish appeared on this stamp from a Hungarian set issued in 1965 to mark the International Years of the Quiet Sun (IQSY), a follow-up to the International Geophysical Year.
		Ascension, an island in the South Atlantic, included the Jodrell Bank dish in a set depicting the evolution of space travel, although this illustration seems to confuse its role in radio astronomy with that of satellite tracking and communications.

	chapter 3
		Jodrell Bank astronomers argued that they had demonstrated closed orbits for meteors that did not form part of showers, and they concluded that all meteors form part of the solar system.
		At Jodrell Bank, William Murray, supported by a DSIR student fellowship, and J.K. Hargreaves began their study of lunar echoes in connection with a meteor research team led by Tom Kaiser.
		Lunar echo research at Jodrell Bank now became the work of John V. Evans, who arrived as a postgraduate student in 1954 and whose supervisor was Ian C. Browne, a colleague of Tom Kaiser working on radar echoes from meteors.

		Nevertheless, the discovery rate at Jodrell has been immense, particularly of pulsars, the rapidly rotating cores of collapsed stars that 'tick' like clocks at radio wavelengths.
