	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.
		A second radio telescope, the Mark II, was built at Jodrell Bank in 1964, with a diameter of approximately 25 metres (it's elliptical, not circular), while a third telescope, the Mark III, located some 20 miles away near Nantwich is part of the Jodrell Bank Observatory.

		Jodrell Bank observatory had been asked to observe radio transmissions from Beagle 2 following each of the first three Martian nights spent on the surface.
		Prior to the observations a spare Beagle 2 transmitter was brought to Jodrell Bank to carry out a complete system check on the ground, and we also built a test transmitter that could be programmed to precisely simulate the Beagle 2 transmissions.
		Although Beagle was not detected, among the many scientific accomplishments of the mission was the new receiver made with a close collaboration between Jodrell Bank and Birmingham.

	Jodrell Bank At Heart Of World's Most Powerful Radio Telescope
		UK astronomers are poised for a new era of discovery with the development of e-MERLIN, the world's most powerful radio telescope, to be based at Jodrell Bank Observatory.
		The 217km MERLIN radio telescope array, run by The University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory, is to be given a £7.8m upgrade.
		This will allow a far greater proportion of the radio waves actually collected by the individual antennas to be brought back to Jodrell Bank than by the existing microwave radio links.

	Radio astronomers remove the blindfold
		UK radio astronomers at the Jodrell Bank Observatory, working with colleagues from Europe and the USA, have demonstrated a new technique that will revolutionise the way they observe.
		In conventional interferometry, far from the traditional image of an astronomer peering through an eyepiece, radio astronomers have to wait weeks or even months to see the results of their work as data tapes are shipped around the world to be combined at a central processing facility.
		Prof Phil Diamond, of Jodrell Bank Observatory explains "Previously, we've been working in the dark, collecting data that we can't see in its entirety until painfully long weeks later.

		The Virtual Observatory aims to provide the framework for global access to the various data archives by facilitating the standardisation of archiving and data-mining protocols.
		The Virtual Observatory initiative is currently aiming at a global collaboration of the astronomical communities in Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australia under the auspices of the recently formed International Virtual Observatory Alliance.
		Similarly to how a real observatory consists of telescopes, each with a collection of unique astronomical instruments, the VO consists of a collection of data centres each with unique collections of astronomical data, software systems, and processing capabilities.

	Global Crossing Connects Next-Generation Radio Telescope
		The five remote telescopes and the giant 76-meter Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank form an array called MERLIN -- a unique instrument for high-resolution radio imaging that is the only general purpose, ground-based astronomical facility that routinely matches the resolution of the Hubble space telescope.
		MERLIN is controlled from the Jodrell Bank Observatory and operated as a national facility by the University of Manchester, with funding from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council.
		A new correlator at Jodrell Bank will collate the raw data from the remote telescopes in real time and a typical image may require the accumulation of 20Pbits (3 million GB) of raw data before the weak signals can be processed into an image by the computer.
