  • Abstract
    The 26m radio telescope of the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) suffered a failure of the main bearing in the polar shaft in 2008 October. This was replaced in 2010 and the telescope returned to service. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) restarted in 2010 August. The internet link to other continents operates at 1 GB/s, permitting e-VLBI at this data rate with the European VLBI Network (EVN).
