Parkes Radio Telescope Maintenance

Description

This photo was taken during a major surface panel upgrade of the Parkes Radio Telescope. Half of the remaining wire mesh surface panels were removed and replaced with perforated aluminium surface panels. The new panels allow the telescope to observe at higher frequencies ensuring that the telescope can continue to be used well into the future.
