SUMMARY:Speaker: Anže Slosar (BNL) - Title: LuSEE-Night: A lunar radio-astronomy pathfinder.
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: March 26\, 2026 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Anže Slosar (BNL) \nTitle: LuSEE-Night: A lunar radio-astronomy pathfinder. \nAbstract: LuSEE-Night is a novel collaborative effort between NASA and DOE aiming to land a path-finder radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. The instrument consists of 4 monopole antennas and will observe the radio sky between 0.1Mhz and 50MHz. This observational band is largely inaccessible from the Earth due to ionosphere and radio interference\, but offers potentially transformational information about the early universe. The instrument is manifested for launch on the Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 2\, targeting a landing in spring 2027. The mission will attempt numerous firsts: the first US landing on the lunar far side; the first far-side landing by a private company; the first modern US attempt to survive and operate through a lunar night; the first demonstration of radio calibration from an in-orbit calibrator around any planetary body; and\, crucially\, the first far-side radio instrument to deliver science-grade data. This talk describes the science case\, the instrument design\, and future opportunities for fundamental physics enabled by the lunar far side. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
