National Radio Astronomy Observatory

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is a research facility that designs, builds, and operates radio telescopes for scientists worldwide to study the universe. They generate revenue primarily through government funding, grants, and partnerships with academic institutions. Founded in 1956, NRAO has played a pivotal role in numerous astronomical discoveries, including the first detection of a binary pulsar. Their facilities, such as the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, are renowned for their contributions to radio astronomy.
