Yevpatoria, Galenki, and Suffa RT-70 radio telescopes
Illustration — 70-m aerial P-2500 (RT-70 radio telescope) in Yevpatoria. There are three radio telescopes designated RT-70, all in countries that were once part of the former Soviet Union, all with similar specifications: 70m dishes and an operating range of 5–300GHz. They are a part of the former Soviet Deep Space Network, now operated by Russia.

Overview
Overview
The Yevpatoria facility has also been used as a radar telescope in observations of space debris and asteroids. They are: • the Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope at the former soviet Center for Deep Space Communications or West Center for Deep Space Communications, Yevpatoria, Crimea, Ukraine. • the Galenki RT-70 radio telescope at the East Center for Deep Space Communications, Galenki (Ussuriysk), Russia. • the Suffa RT-70 radio telescope at the Suffa Radio Observatory on the Suffa plateau, Uzbekistan. In 2008, RT-70 was used to beam 501 messages at the exoplanet Gliese 581c, in hopes of making contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The messages should arrive in 2029.
Evpatoria RT-70 radio telescope (planetary radar, deep space exploration radar) in Crimea is extraterrestrial civilizations ready. The antenna is a powerful planetary transmitter with diameter of 70m and operating range of 5-300 GHz. Evpatoria Center for Deep Space Communications and Exploration. Vitino, Crimea.
