Default 2007 TU24 to be Radar Imaged in Great Detail.

When they shut down
Aricebo, the Goldstone dish will be the largest remaining operational
radio telescope I know of that's at all steerable.


Effelsberg in Germany is larger (100 m vs 70 m dish diameter) and is
used for research exclusively.

But loosing Arecibo will really be a shame.
