The authors have made extensive use of the NRAO Archives, which contain an unparalleled collection of documents pertaining to the history of radio astronomy, including the institutional records of NRAO as well as the personal papers of many of the pioneers of U.S. radio astronomy. Technical details and extensive citations to original sources are given in notes for the more technical readers, but are not required for an understanding of the body of the book. This book is intended for an audience ranging from interested lay readers to professional researchers studying the scientific, technical, political, and cultural development of a new science, and how it changed the course of 20th century astronomy. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-310X 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 610 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 610 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics 610 $aHistory of Science 610 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 610 $aRadio Astronomy in the USA 610 $aNRAO 610 $aRadio astronomers 610 $aSETI 610 $aSearch for extraterrestrial intelligence 610 $aRadio astronomy politics and culture 610 $aRadio telescope construction 610 $aopen access 610 $aAstronomy, space & time 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a520 700 $aKellermann$b Kenneth I$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0843490 702 $aBouton$b E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBrandt$b Sierra S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418169503316 996 $aOpen Skies$91886070 997 $aUNISA
