Event Type: Lecture and Stargazing
Title: FARSIDE: Exploring the Cosmos from the Moon
Lecturer: Nivedita Mahesh
Position: Postdoctoral Fellow
Institution: Caltech
Abstract:
NASA’s planned return to the moon is promising for radio astronomers, too. In this talk, I will discuss two NASA mission concepts to place a low-frequency radio array on the far side of the moon. I will describe what unique astronomical science can be done with a radio telescope on the lunar farside. Then, we will look at the details of two planned radio telescope concepts, how they will be constructed by robots and operated autonomously. Finally, I will give an update on a precursor radio telescope that will fly to the Moon by the end of this year.
