About the state of Ukrainian radio astronomy, the damage caused by the occupiers, discoveries made with the help of Ukrainian radio telescopes, future technologies, the importance of science during the war, and much more in an interview with journalists of the online publication "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia," the director of the Radio Astronomy Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Vyacheslav Zakharenko, spoke.
Ukrainian scientists continue to work even under shelling. And radio astronomy is one of those fields that found itself literally on the front line. Two unique telescopes located in the Kharkiv region at the S. Braude Radio Astronomy Observatory survived occupation and destruction from shelling but still remain part of world-class science. These are the world's largest decameter radio telescope UTR-2 and the giant radio telescope GURT.
