Project Overview Accurate deep space radiowave information is needed to detect the presence of extraterrestrial life. On earth, man made noise and atmospheric interference make this data impossible to receive. This report defines initial plans and estimates for the creation and deployment of a lunar radio telescope on the far side of the moon. The spectrum of interest is 1 to 4 GHz. The moon based dish will have a diameter of 300 meters with an Tsys of 20o Kelvin and aperture efficiency of 0.9. It will be located in the Daedalus crater at 5.9oS, 179.4o E. It is assumed that this installment will lay a foundation for further communication networks on the moon. Therefore our companies solution will be extensible and have capabilities to cover communication over large portions of the surface while maintaining minimal cost. Loco Lunar Corp. will use the newest technology and beat any other companies price at putting your radio telescope on the moon! |
