30m Telescope
The Warkworth 2 antenna was designed and built by NEC and commissioned in July 1984. It was built as a wheel on track construction with 30.48m reflector and a Beam Waveguide feed. The dish itself is actually 30.48 metres and is 37 metres high. Warkworth 2, until decommissioned, was used for satellite communications, covering everything from phone calls, to internet traffic to TV content.
Over its band of operation Warkworth 2 is approximately six times more powerful than AUT’s 12m antenna which means it can provide sharper resolution and the ability to investigate more distant objects.
