VLA as seen from NM Hwy 166 The NRAO is a nonprofit research organization operated by Associated Universities, Inc., and funded by the National Science Foundation. With headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia, NRAO operates radio telescope facilities at Green Bank, West Virginia; Tucson, Arizona; and Socorro, New Mexico. The NRAO conceives, designs, builds, and maintains radio telescopes used by scientists to study virtually all types of astronomical objects known, from planets and comets in our own Solar System to quasars at the edge of the known universe. NRAO-New Mexico represents an important resource for educators seeking assistance and supplementation for scientific and technical curricula. Among the educational services offered, besides the unstaffed Visitor Center (which includes an automated slide show and self-guided tour for the public), are tours for educational groups, with at least two weeks' notice, speakers for classrooms or school groups, with at least one month's notice, and literature. There is no charge for these services. Call the NRAO Public Information Office at 835-7000, fax at 835-7027, or write NRAO, P.O. Box O, Socorro, NM 87801.
