The ARO 12m Radio Telescope is a 12-meter dish located on Kitt Peak, approximately 60 mi from Tucson in Arizona at an elevation of 6215.8 ft .
The original dish was built in 1967 under the umbrella of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory . At that time, it was 36 feet in diameter and was known as the 36-foot Telescope. In 1984, it was renovated with a new backup structure and a slightly larger dish. At this point its name was changed to the 12 Meter Telescope.
