330-PS-1101 (USN 708096):   Astronomical Studies Extended by New Navy Radio Telescope.   Workmen lower the last section of the Naval Research Laboratory’s 600-inch “radio telescope” into place.  With this installation, NRL Scientists will study radio “signals” from the Sun, Moon, and Stars.  Information gained from the radio astronomy studies is expected to extend man’s knowledge of the universe and to be of practical application in long-range weather forecasting in radio communications.
