It also includes the seminal scientific achievements in the three research areas to which the telescope contributed, ionospheric physics, planetary science and radio astronomy.The book continues through later upgrades made to the site, showing how the Arecibo telescope has arguably remained the world's most versatile and productive radio science instrument for over 50 years.
