The radome is a 27-foot composite sphere (Essco S27-83) on the roof of MIT building 54 containing an 18-foot circular radar dish on an SCR-584 alt-azimuth radar rotor. It is owned and operated by the MIT UHF Repeater Association W1XM but used for a variety of purposes including:

• Amateur radio
• Radio astronomy
• Satellite communications
• General experimentation

This wiki is intended to be comprehensive technical documentation of the radome's mechanical, electrical, computing, and radio systems to support future maintenance and experimental work.
