Urbex | Orgov Radio Optical Telescope (ROT-54) - Soviet Armenia's Forgotten Space Center

In this video I explore the forgotten Orgov Radio Optical Telescope (aka Herouni Mirror Radio Telescope or ROT-54). This incredible complex situated on a remote mountain side in Armenia has been idle for several decades but still not completely abandoned.

11:05: "This is the worst constructed thing I've ever seen, it's just bits of steel welded together." Also continues to climb to the tippy top. Love it lol. Solid vid

Thanks for this video, very nice presentation. I was there at the radio telescope (AKA Paris Herouni telescope) 2 years ago. It is fascinating. It is not very far from the Byurakan optical telescopes. The second structure is a solar collector, as Herouni described long ago in an interview available on RUclips.

Hope will get opportunity to visit it while it still exist. Pro level of capturing, edit and submission.

Whatever issues being the total collapse of the 70 year experiment , being a “tactical retreat “ of Marxist ideals within the East . As dystopic as this site is , one word “Pripyat “ , Ubi Sunt .
