Long Baseline Array

(LBA, Australia Telescope Long Baseline Array, Australian Long Baseline Array)
(radio interferometer using Australian telescopes)

The Long Baseline Array (LBA) is an interferometer of cooperating radio telescopes across Australia. Participation and availability of individual sites has varied over time, one early observation incorporating the following:

Within Australia, a 2000+ mile baseline is feasible. Telescopes outside Australia have been used in conjunction, producing baselines of 6000 miles.

The LBA and the ATCA were the two components of a 1980s project called the Australia Telescope (AT).
