  Some other "when digging around about radar astronomy and greenbank plans"... https://www.wboy.com/news/west-virginia/green-bank-telescope-in-west-virginia-finds-nasa-dart-mission-was-a-success/ https://www.wboy.com/news/west-virginia/green-bank-telescope... > The Green Bank Observatory, in conjunction with the Goldstone radio telescope in California, has been monitoring the pair of asteroids over the two weeks following the experiment on Sept. 26. Observations found not only that the trajectory had been changed successfully, but that it exceeded the initial expectations for how large the shift would be. From https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/green-bank-telescope-helped-confirm-altered-path-of-asteroid-hit-by-nasa-spacecraft/article_dd58247e-0e04-54e3-b970-a4640b79cca0.html https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/green-bank-telescope-help... > Green Bank Telescope radar observations of the asteroid Dimorphos after it was deliberately struck by a NASA spacecraft on Sept 26 were used to confirm the success of the first-ever full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology The key here is that as mentioned Goldstone is the other radar astronomy capable observatory and its radar observations. RAdio Detection And Ranging. Those require the ability to transmit a radio pulse. But absouyltely it's neat what they're doing with it.
