Radio astronomy is a cost-effective and enjoyable way to explore the skies. Our mission is to guide you through creating your own radio telescope using simple materials like cardboard, all for under $200. The tutorials will help you build the CHART instrument to study the Milky Way’s spiral structure. No previous knowledge of radio astronomy, electronics, or programming is required. The step-by-step instructions cover telescope construction, observation, and data analysis. For further resources, visit the Science Background, Telescope Construction, Observing, Data Analysis, and Resources pages. Contact us with any questions. Get involved by checking out our Github repository to contribute to the code.
