LuSEE 'Night': The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment
Abstract
The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Explorer 'LuSEE Night' will deploy a low-frequency radio astronomy experiment to the Moon's farside using a specialized receiver and antennas, enabling clean observations during lunar night.
The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Explorer 'LuSEE Night' is a low frequency radio astronomy experiment that will be delivered to the farside of the Moon by the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in late 2025 or early 2026. The payload system is being developed jointly by NASA and the US Department of Energy (DOE) and consists of a 4 channel, 50 MHz Nyquist baseband receiver system and 2 orthogonal sim6m tip-to-tip electric dipole antennas. LuSEE Night will enjoy standalone operations through the lunar night, without the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of an operating lander system and antipodal to our noisy home planet.
