Receivers exist at most primary observing frequencies ranging from ~290 MHz to 50 GHz. The active surface of 2004 movable panels is in regular use at all frequencies above ~8 GHz and significantly improves both gain and diffraction beam shape at high and low elevation angles. Both the surface and pointing accuracies allow good performance at that frequency.
The telescope is now in regular operation to frequencies of 50 GHz, which achieves the base design goal of the facility. This paper gives a status report on astronomical performance, operational capabilities, development plans, and early scientific highlights. Byrd Green Bank Telescope is a new 100 meter radio telescope that is now in routine astronomical operation.

^ "Green Bank CDP, West Virginia - Census Bureau Profile".Bruce Bosley, a four-time All-Pro for the San Francisco 49ers and a standout player at West Virginia in the 1950s, starred as running back at the now-closed and demolished Green Bank High School.As of 2013, around 30 people had moved to Green Bank to escape the detrimental effects of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Escape from cellular radiation is the main attraction to Green Bank for these people. It was at the Green Bank Site in 1961 that Frank Drake presented the Drake Equation, which was developed to provide an estimate of the total number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.Īs Green Bank is located within the National Radio Quiet Zone many people who believe they suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity are finding new homes within its borders. Since October 1, 2016, the Telescope has been operated by the Green Bank Observatory, which is no longer part of the NRAO. Green Bank is home to the Green Bank Telescope, the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope, which was operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) until September 30, 2016. This policy is enforced by a "radio policeman" who uses specialized equipment to detect signals from unauthorized electronics. Green Bank is located within the National Radio Quiet Zone, which means that radio transmissions are heavily restricted by law. The community was named for a green riverbank near the original town site.
As of the 2020 census, its population was 141. Green Bank is home to the Green Bank Observatory and is also close to the Snowshoe Mountain ski resort. Green Bank is a census-designated place in Pocahontas County in West Virginia's Potomac Highlands inside the Allegheny Mountain Range.
