Scientific paper

Radiotelescopes have made possible the discoveries of radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, interstellar masers, gravitational lenses and the microwave background radiation. Radiotelescopes also encompass experiments in fundamental physics and terrestrial applications. Improvements in millimeter and submillimeter radiotelescopes with diameters of 10-20 meters being currently in operation are noted. The Millimeter Array scheduled to be completed within a decade will have a sensitivity, resolution, speed, and image quality exceeding those of any existing instrument by more than an order of magnitude and will allow millimeter-wave observations of the sun and planets. The Very Long Baseline Array, now under construction, will give the highest angular resolution and will be used for a variety of applications in astronomy, geodesy, and geophysics.
