Changes to the Parkes Infrastructure
· Major program of Electricity reliability upgrades complete · UPS for Parkes drives (park dish safely) · Remote control of instrumentaEon and drives · Timing system , incl. new maser enclosure · Telescope protecEon system, incl. drive stability monitor · New digital backend (UWA etc.) · (BUT no new receivers)

Changes to the Parkes Model
· Default remote observing (from the SOC) · Project experts provide team "self-
support" · Stow unEl morning · New performance metrics and targets that capture down Eme. § Data quality responsibility of the observer § Telescope safety responsibility of the observatory

Parkes receivers ­ ATUC priori-es?
1. The Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) is a key science area for Parkes. The telescope must be equipped with a world-
leading Pulsar receiver, like the present 10-
50 cm
receiver.


2. T

he top spectral line use currently is studies of HI to trace galaxy evoluEon, from the MW and MCs to distant galaxies, using a range of techniques including intensity fluctuaEon mapping. are important star formaEon tracers, and Parkes is the only large single-
dish telescope readily available in the southern hemisphere to map these lines. with Parkes have become an important use of the telescope in recent years, and this is likely to conEnue.

3. Methanol and NH3



4. PolarisaEon surveys 5. VLBI

remains a crucial applicaEon, as Parkes is the only large aperture that is consistently available in the LBA, which is the only southern hemisphere VLBI facility.

Parkes Down-me due to Zenith Brakes
ISSUE SUMMARY ь April/May: Intermiaent fault with potenEally serious consequences ь Root Cause: Change to brake actuator calibraEon procedure, complicated by: The many MCP/UPS/TPS/SERVO mulEple upgrade/system changes; reducEon of staff numbers with 64m drive system experEse; > ACTION: Upgrade of exisEng Fault ReporEng & Tracking and a new Work Order System will enforce configuraEon management.

band Wireless Rollout
OUTCOMES ь 200 NSW NBN base staEons coordinated under an NDA ь some RFI impact on PKS observing successful negoEaEons reduced worst case RFI levels by ~ 20dB; NBN agreed to remove one base staEon altogether; agreed changes to antenna type & orientaEon for a further 12 staEons a template for future NBN rollouts
