The NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) was an
astronomical catalogue. It was led by James J. Condon.[1]
The survey covers 82% sky, consisting of everything north of
arcsec.[1] It was proposed at the same time as the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters, and test observations for both surveys were taken in 1992.[2] Observations were made between September 1993 and October 1996.[1]
The Southern Hemisphere was covered by a similar catalogue called the
Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS), generated using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope.[citation needed
