Scientific paper

The Space Science Center at Morehead State University has developed
a full-motion 21-meter class antenna system: this instrument is known
as the Morehead State University Space Tracking Antenna and Radio Telescope. The antenna system is engaged in rigorous research programs in radio astronomy and will also serve as a ground station with capability of tracking low earth orbiting satellites. Currently, the telescope features receivers sensitive to radiation in the K_u band (11.2 to 12.7 GHz, including a well-known methanol line), S band (2 to 4 GHz) and L band (1.4 to 1.7 GHz, including lines of atomic hydrogen and hydroxyl).
A description of the antenna, its capabilities and research projects planned for or currently being conducted by the antenna (such as monitoring active galactic nuclei and surveying the Galactic supernova remnant population) will be presented and discussed.
