The RCT Consortium is a group of universities and research institutions who have assumed control of the 1.3-m (50-inch) telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona. Consortium members are The Planetary Science Institute, Western Kentucky University, South Carolina State University, Villanova University and Fayetteville State University. The telescope, originally called the Remotely Controlled Telescope, has been renamed the Robotically Controlled Telescope to reflect the change in operational control and mode of use.

The RCT, which has been under refurbishment to bring it to the state of a modern robotic telescope, is currently undertaking test observations!

Please see the Central RCT Website at Western Kentucky University for more information.
