Abstract

In this paper we present a brief overview of a future project that consists on building a radio astronomy system using the parabolic dish antennas located at different Campuses of the Tecnological University of Panama (UTP). Our proposal is to implement the principle of interferometry to link these parabolic dich antennas to achieve the angular resolution that we would have with a much larger radio telescope.
