Herouni Space Center is a national center for astronomers, researchers, engineers, scholars, futurists, and artists. Based on Mount Aragats, the center is founded on the pioneering spirit, experiments, and discoveries of Professor Paris Herouni, a leading Armenian physicist and engineer. Herouni's Mirror Radio telescope, the first Radio-Optical Telescope (ROT-54) in the world and the only system of its kind, stands at a height of 1,711m and is the pinnacle of our space and research hub. First operated in 1986, the ROT-54 has been restored to full performance over recent years. Our goal is to harness the power of this unique antenna to advance our knowledge and understanding of space and science for the benefit of all humankind.
