A telescope is an instrument. A network is an observatory.
Independently built ASTRA telescopes will be able to register as stations in a growing observing ecosystem. Discover collaborators, plan shared experiments, and coordinate observations across locations.
In developmentPotential connections across a shared sky. Node positions are schematic and do not indicate station locations or availability.

Different places. Shared questions.
Geographically separated stations can contribute independent observations to coordinated experiments. Nearby compatible stations may form an initial interferometric baseline. Longer baselines are a future possibility with suitable timing references, recording systems, accurate station positions, and calibration.
What to look forward to
- Telescope registration
