From Leonard David's Inside Outer Space:听鈥淲e can clearly say that the dawn of radio astronomy from the Moon has begun!鈥� That鈥檚 the word from Jack Burns, a University of Colorado/Boulder astrophysicist. He is a co-investigator on the ROLSES instrument now on the Moon courtesy of the Intuitive Machines lunar lander, Odysseus.
ROLSES stands for Radio wave Observation at the Lunar Surface of the photo-Electron Sheath, designed to study the dynamic radio energy environment near the lunar surface. ROLSES is a NASA-supported payload under NASA鈥檚 Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, initiative.
The good news is that there was successful deployment of antennas for ROLSES and turning a spectrometer on to take good low radio frequency radio data.
