The ITEK 48-inch telescope was most recently housed at the Starfire Optical Range, Kirtland AFB in New Mexico and was originally employed to track ballistic missiles in Florida.   In this capacity, this 25,000 pound fully steerable instrument was able to slew from horizon to horizon in 3 seconds.. The telescope can be configured to operate at focal ratios of f/2.5 or f/10.  A camera, eyepiece, or other instrumentation can be mounted at the  hot-swappable Coude focus point.  The ITEK is valued at $1.1 million.  It will serve as the receiver for an ultraviolet LIDAR system employed in gravity wave detection.

The Alcatel-Lucent Solar Radio SpectroPolarimeter was originally mounted on the roof of Bell Labs in Murray Hill.   The 2-meter dish is connected to a 1-18 GHz receiver capable of 200 MHz resolution.  It is driven by a chain-drive stepper motor in 7.5" increments.  The mechanical components were reconditioned and the electronics have been updated.  This dish is similar to the 2-meter dishes installed at the Owen's Valley Solar Array in California.

The NanoTesla LNV model 001 triaxial fluxgate magnetometer can measure variations in the earth's magnetic field at Jenny Jump that are as small as 0.1nT (nano-Tesla).  The sensor is mounted at the base of a cliff to shield it from electromagnetic interference originating in the Hackettstown area.

The Leica System 1200 GPS is wired to an antenna mounted on the roof.  This is a specialized multi-frequency receiver which allows signal delay through the ionosphere to be calculated.  Data readings are recorded every 2 seconds 24 hours a day.
