You say this as if the earth based ground telescopes are not moving either, which is quite confusing since they most definitely are moving.


Not relative to one another


I get it, but even on terra firma, they are having to track relative to each other in 2 axis. In space, they would have to add that 3rd dimension and I stipulate that extra dimension is not linear in complexity. However, tracking on the ground in RA and Dec per object across the distances of VLA is not "simple".
