Goonhilly is no longer transmitting.
The sixty satellite dishes of the largest earth station in the world are being dismantled. Efforts are underway to suggest re purposing of the dishes. The receiving dishes can be used as radio telescopes, they could be used as parabolic antennas to harvest solar energy. They could be used for […]
