The Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA) is the only entity in Australia with a licence to conduct activity on the MRO, other than the site owner, CSIRO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIRA has access to more than 100 gbps of dedicated data transport capacity between the MRO and Curtin. CIRA conducts a number of radio astronomy instrumentation activities at the MRO that enable and support a variety of science outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact: <a href=\"https:\/\/staffportal.curtin.edu.au\/staff\/profile\/view\/tom-booler-f8a801d9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Booler<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109197,"template":"","faculties":[51],"research_areas":[35],"class_list":["post-108001","facilities","type-facilities","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculties-science-and-engineering","research_areas-space"],"acf":{"video":"","facility_info":{"video":""}},"featured_image":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/facilities\/108001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/facilities"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/facilities"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/facilities\/108001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faculties","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculties?post=108001"},{"taxonomy":"research_areas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_areas?post=108001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
