Until now, it was impossible to predict the emergence of space weather disturbances from a solar event before the arrival of the first sign observed from a solar event. Related to this, radio emission is the earliest sign that can be observed from an eruption that occurs in the Sun's corona (Salmane et al. 2018). This study tries to detect radio waves originating from the Sun which are generally in the form of solar radio bursts. In the literature it was found that after a long observation, radio bursts can be distinguished by duration, frequency range, and intensity. There are various types of solar radio bursts, which are usually classified as Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V. In this Final Project research, the device used for retrieving this data is the Callisto Radio Telescope system. The Callisto Telescope is used because it has a wide frequency range, which is between 45-870MHz, so it is expected to include several types of radio bursts. In this Final Project research, the author continues the development of the Callisto Radio Telescope at Bosscha Observatory, especially in terms of characterization and observation. For this reason, the telescope was installed in the CAS - ITB Building and the observation was conducted from February to June 2017. The results were presented in this Final Project, and it was found that the interference conditions from RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) gave a very serious obstacle to obtaining optimal observations.
