A roadmap towards a space-based radio telescope for ultra-low frequency radio astronomy

The past two decades have witnessed a renewed interest in low frequency radio astronomy, with a particular focus on frequencies above 30 MHz e.g., LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) in the Netherlands and its European extension ILT, the International LOFAR Telescope. However, at frequencies below 30 MHz, Earth-based observations are limited due to a...

CURALF: CUbesat for Radio Astronomy at Low Frequencies

Space launches have been steadily increasing over the years as satellites are being used in various applications such as communication, military, and science. The costs of launching satellites are still high and depend on the dimensions and weight of the satellite. With the advancement in the field of autonomous robotics and telecommunications,...
