Telescope kits

The two parts that are hardest to source, sent to educators who ask.

Most of a horn telescope comes from a hardware store. Two pieces are harder to source: an SDR dongle and a low-noise amplifier for the 21 cm hydrogen line.

Educators and community organizers can request a starter kit if equipment access is holding them back.

To request a kit, email us at rail@wvu.edu.

Kits are sent while supplies last. If kits are unavailable, you can buy the parts directly. The Receiver Electronics module lists parts and suppliers.
