NRAO VLA Sky Survey
(NVSS)
(1990s microwave survey of 82% of the sky)
The NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS)
was a 1990s 1.4 GHz microwave survey
by National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) using the Very Large Array (VLA),
covering the sky north of -40° declination.
It turned up 1.8 million sources.
A similar current survey carried out with the VLA is VLASS,
which has the advantage of current receiver technology.
