Abstract

The project aims at building the first-ever 5-m SPIDER 500A radio telescope in the United Arab Emirates with an observing frequency of 1420 MHz. This is one of three telescopes that will be used to simulate a 40-m radio interferometer. This interferometer will be the first of its kind in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) . The location, construction, and the first observations of the Orion nebula and the Sun with the 5-m single-dish are described in this paper.
