RATAN-600

Map with a build of the RATAN-600

From Wikipedia (reliable source): It comprises a 576 m diameter circle of rectangular radio reflectors and a set of secondary reflectors and receivers, based at an altitude of 970 m. Each of the 895 2×7.4 m reflectors can be angled to reflect incoming radio waves towards a central conical secondary mirror, or to one of five parabolic cylinders. Each secondary reflector is combined with an instrumentation cabin containing various receivers and instruments. The overall effect is that of a partially steerable antenna with a maximum resolving power of a nearly 600 m diameter dish, when using the central conical receiver, making it the world's largest-diameter individual radio telescope. It began operation in 1977.



This is sourced from the 2014 Hackaday ARG Minecraft map, which is an amazing find I stumbled upon in 2025 and just had to show some of the builds they made. The builds are placed on lentebriesje's The recreation of the Earth 1:1500 scale (version2.1!) Minecraft Map in the hackaday Minecraft map.
