Abstract

The experience gained in 15-year operation of three antenna systems of radiotelescopes is analyzed. The operation modes of the radiotelescopes and the environmental conditions of their sites are presented. The performance characteristics and the possibilities of upgrading the mirror system, rotary mounts, and foundations, as well as the monitoring and control complex of the antenna system are analyzed.
