The PrimaLuceLab SPIDER 230C radio telescope (SKU: SPIDER230C-KIT) is a compact radio astronomy kit with a 2.3 m diameter parabolic antenna. This modular solution requires an equatorial mount with a load capacity of at least 50 kg (not included). The radio telescope is optimized for operation at 1420 MHz, enabling advanced observations in the neutral hydrogen band. The price listed is for the basic version – more advanced kits are also available and are discussed individually by email.

The lead time and installation costs of SPIDER radio telescopes are discussed individually, depending on the selected configuration and installation location.

Key features
