Founded in 1949, hosted by Chalmers University of Technology, and operated on behalf of the Swedish research council, Onsala Space Observatory is the Swedish national facility for radio astronomy. The observatory provides scientists with equipment to study the Earth and the Universe. Several radio telescopes are operated in Onsala and these take part in international projects, for example the 20 m and 25 m telescopes used for studies of the birth and death of stars. The Onsala Space Observatory is also a geodetic fundamental station, and there are several ongoing geodetic projects at the observatory.
The presentation will provide a review of the history of the observatory as well as an introduction to the facilities and some of the current activities and results.
