Scientific paper

The Australia Telescope (AT) is a collection of eight antennas located at three different sites in New South Wales. Six antennas near Narrabri, each with a parabolic reflecting 22-m-diam surface, forming the 6-km AT Compact Array, operate together as a 'synthesis' radio telescope. The Compact Array, the Mopra antenna, and the Parkes radio telescope can be linked together to form the AT's Long Baseline Array. The paper reviews the scientific design goals and the building of the AT, as well as the milestones in the AT Construction Project, starting with the proposal made in 1975 to build a high-resolution radio telescope in Australia and ending with the formal completion in November 1991.
