            <Description>LOFAR is an interferometer with about 50 000 antennas grouped in 50 stations through 
		Europe, with 60% of them located in the Netherlands. It has been running since 2012. Nançay's 
		LOFAR station is composed of 2 antennas array and one shipment container housing the receptors 
		and the computing systems. It is connected to a central supercomputer in Groningen, Netherlands.
		The key scientific objectives are deep sky surveys, the study of reionisation epoch, of variable 
		sources like pulsars, jets, eruptive stars, planets and exoplanets, the detection of very high 
		energy cosmic rays, and the interplanetary medium physics.
		LOFAR High Band Array (HBA) covers the spectral range from 120 to 270 MHz</Description>
