The Cоllаpse оf the Arecibо Observаtory Telescope Verа Marquel January, 2021 1 An ongoing investigation of the December, 2020, collapse of the radio telescope at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico offers early evidence that a manufacturing issue may have contributed to the failure. The telescope’s massive platform, which weighed 900 tons, was suspended above the vast radio dish by three dozen supporting cables. But in August 2020, one of those cables slipped out of its socket; before the failure could be repaired, a second cable snapped outright in November. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), which owns the site, determined that the platform was too unstable to safely repair and decided to decommission the instrument. Before that could happen, the telescope collapsed on its own on Dec. 1. 2 Engineers have been investigating the cables since August, and crews have been cleaning up the debris and monitoring environmental concerns since the collapse, observatory director Francisco Cordova said during a panel discussion held on Jan. 21. “The site cleanup and the debris removal really is ongoing,” Cordova said. The panel is focused on small solar system objects like asteroids in order to help a National Academies of Science committee put together the document that will shape planetary science research for the next decade. 3 Cordova noted that the telescope’s azimuth arm, which helped steer its instruments, and the hanging dome suspended from it that held antennas and the facility’s radar transmitter, have already been removed from the site. Environmental engineers have also collected two types of potentially hazardous materials that were used on the platform, he said. 4 The next priority is to clear out remaining platform debris; to reach that material, work crews have deconstructed part of the massive Arecibo reflector dish, which measures 1,000 feet (305 meters) across. The observatory team is also evaluating how much of the dish itself can be rescued, Cordova said. “There’s still much discussion about how much of the primary reflector can be saved and how do we go about that,” Cordova said. “Our focus right now is the safe removal of the platform structure, and then we’ll look at it from there.” 5 Simultaneously, two investigations are evaluating what caused the telescope’s collapse. One investigation focuses on the so-called auxiliary cables. These 12 cables were added in the 1990s, when the observatory installed the massive hanging dome that distinguishes the telescope’s appearance in the movie Contact from its previous appearance in James Bond’s GoldenEye. The first cable to fail was one of these auxiliary cables, which slipped out of its socket where it connected to one of the three supporting towers surrounding the dish. 6 “Preliminary investigation has revealed that there was a manufacturing error in those cables — in particular, the socketing procedure wasn’t done appropriately, and that led to advanced degradation of that particular structural element,” Cordova said. “But the final investigation is still to be completed.” 7 A second investigation focuses on the main cables, which were part of the original telescope built in the 1960s. It was one of these main cables that snapped in November despite engineers’ estimates that it was only carrying about 60% of the weight it should have been able to withstand. 8 Both the clean-up and investigation processes are ongoing, Cordova emphasized; in addition, the NSF is working separately on understanding the collapse and evaluating the site’s future for a report the government has requested by late February. 9 The answer may never be crystal clear. “Certainly, there’s typically not a single item that contributed but a multitude of items that contributed to the particular failure,” Cordova said. In addition to the facility’s age, the past few years have been hard on Puerto Rico. In 2017, Hurricane Maria battered the island, and over the course of 2020, it experienced more than 10,000 earthquakes. “Basically, we were shaking the entire time; that certainly could have been a factor,” Cordova said. “That’s being still analyzed by the engineering teams.”
