Stepping stones toward our ALO observatory: As we refine concepts, develop instrumentation and engage with industry and academic partners to advance the technologies and collaborations, we are developing scientific capabilities essential to future lunar astronomy.
The far side of the Moon offers an exceptionally quiet radio environment, making it an ideal setting for detecting the extremely weak global neutral hydrogen signal from the early Universe. Our GloDEX concept is designed to fully leverage these unique conditions. By placing several widely separated antennas on the lunar surface, we can validate measurements across stations and distinguish genuine cosmological signals from instrumental effects. Capturing this signal will allow us to explore the emergence of the first stars and galaxies and deepen our understanding of how the Universe evolved over time.
