Radio Optical Observatory ROT-54

This lost place leads you to the Orgov Radio-Optical Telescope. After it was built from 1975 to 1985, it was in operation from 1987 until the collapse of the Soviet Union. ROT-54 is among the largest in the world, but has not been used since 2012. Even though there are plans to make it operational again, not much has been done here in the last 10 years. For an entry fee that you pay at the gate (see waypoints), you can enter and explore the area.

 

The cache is hidden at another telescope on the hill that is now completely abandoned. I couldn't find anything specific about its history.
