Sleeping Giant: Abandoned USSR radio telescope from a bird's-eye view
READ MORE:
A gigantic abandoned Soviet-era telescope nestled high in the Armenian mountains has been revealed in stunning detail in epic drone footage.
The massive Herouni Mirror Radio telescope is located about 1,700 meters above sea level near the town of Orgov, Armenia. Built between 1981 and 1985, it was thought to be one of the most powerful radio telescopes in the world at the time.
The National Institute of Metrology of Armenia, to which the telescope now belongs, is currently looking for an investor to restore the complex.

The height of the construction is about 178 meters (584 feet).
There are two radio telescopes designated RT-64 (TNA-1500), both in Russia and with similar specifications.
With their 64m antenna diameter, they are among the largest radio telescopes in the world.

Drone footage filmed on Thursday captured the massive abandoned Soviet-built Herouni Mirror Radio telescope high up in the Armenian mountains.
Located at some 1,700 metres (5,500 feet) above sea level near the town of Orgov, the giant antenna was built between 1981-1985 but it fell into disrepair after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Named Soviet physician Paris Herouni, the antenna was once thought to be of the most powerful radio telescopes in the world.
Around the massive antenna lie other abandoned buildings once used for radio measurements research.
The National Institute of Metrology of Armenia, to which the telescope now belongs, is currently looking for an investor to restore the complex.
