This week, we wanted to take the time to tell you about a really exciting and interesting client of ours, The National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia.  We recently sold them an ADA-compliant 2009 Glaval Concorde II bus for their facility tour.

The Observatory is the home of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), which is the largest fully-steerable and most technically advanced single-dish telescope in the world.  Its 110-meter by 100-meter dish boasts more than two acres of area for collecting faint radio waves from the Universe.  Weighing 17 million pounds, the GBT is also one of the world’s largest moving structures on land.

If you are in the Green Bank, West Virginia area, we highly recommend a visit to this amazing place.  They are open to the public all year long, and can be contacted through The Science Center At Green Bank (304-456-2150).  Or, visit their website at http://www.gb.nrao.edu/.  It’s sure to be a trip your whole family will remember.  Look for more information and pictures in our next email newsletter.
