DESCRIPTION:ASTRON's predecessor organization\, Stichting Radiostraling van
  Zon en Melkweg (SRZM)\, was founded on 23 April 1949 to build and operate
  the first radio telescope in Dwingeloo. SRZM oversaw the construction of 
 the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope between 1965 and 1970. The NWO es
 tablished a new organization\, ASTRON\, in 1980 to handle other branches o
 f astronomy not covered by SRZM\; the two were merged several years later 
 to form the current ASTRON organization.\n\nASTRON pursues a technical dev
 elopment programme\, aimed both at providing innovative instrumentation fo
 r use on current observing facilities and at laying the groundwork for fut
 ure generations of telescopes and signal processing instrumentation.\n\nTo
  these ends\, the ASTRON facility in Dwingeloo maintains a well equipped R
 &D division specializing in the design\, prototyping and qualification of:
 \n\n- Low noise\, ambient and cryogenic radio receiver systems (0.2–345 
 GHz)\n- Very high speed digital electronics\n- Antennas\, especially in th
 e array environment\n- Advanced instrumentation for use at optical and inf
 rared wavelengths\n- Algorithm and software engineering for instrument con
 trol and for imaging\n\nOude Hoogeveensedijk 4\, 7991 PD Dwingeloo\, Dwing
