On this page, we will present the various research projects, papers, meetings and other activities we have employed in the past or are currently involved in.
ALO/DEX CDF Study (2021)
In May/June 2021, a Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) study was performed by the ESA engineering team in conjunction with the ALO science team. The subject of this study was to work out what low-frequency radio array size would be possible to deploy using a single lunar lander. With current technology, a 4×4-element array would be possible – but for Cosmic Dawn science, a much larger array is needed of at least 32×32 elements. The CDF study thus highlighted the different directions of technology development needed for a cutting-edge facility on the Moon. Below, the public edition of the study report can be perused.
