Haystack Observatory, an interdisciplinary research center of MIT, focuses on radio science, astronomy, geodesy, geospace science, and space technology. It develops technology for radio science applications to study the universe and advance knowledge of Earth's space environment. Haystack is a world leader in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) and collaborates with organizations like MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The Haystack Telescope also serves as a radar sensor for space situational awareness.
