over there Construction will last 8 years With Two billion euro investmentThere are 131,000 antennas to be installed in Australia,” LaPress said Lucius TyroneOriginally an electromagnetic engineer Sulmona (L’Aquila), which contributes to Creation of the most powerful radio telescope in the world (SCA Observatory).
