Instrument Host Overview
  ========================
  
  The following information comes from the NRAO website
  (https://public.nrao.edu/about-the-observatory/):
  
  The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) 'is funded by the National 
  Science Foundation (NSF) under the terms of a cooperative agreement 
  between the NSF and Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI), a science 
  management corporation.'

  'The NRAO operates a complementary suite of powerful telescopes for 
  exploring the Universe: 
  - Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the world's most sensitive 
  single-dish radio telescope.
  - Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), an array of 27 radio telescopes 
  that is among the most productive research tools in astronomy.
  - Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), an array of 10 radio telescopes and the 
  highest resolution astronomical telescope.
  - Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a partnership with 
  Europe, Japan, and Chile that will be available to the U.S. and Canadian 
  astronomical communities through the North American ALMA Science Center 
  (NAASC).'
