Abstract
Socorro, N. Mex., will be home for the operations center for the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network of radio telescopes. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) selected Socorro because of its proximity to the Very Large Array (VLA), an existing system of 27 radio telescopes and will allow combined operation of the VLBA and the VLA. In addition, two of the proposed VLBA antennas will be nearby. With the proposed array of 10 radio telescopes—from Puerto Rico to Hawaii—astronomers will be able to probe the universe with a resolution 1000 times greater than any existing radio or optical telescope and 100 times that of the future Hubble Space Telescope.
