Blue Skies Space – commissioned by Italian Space Agency – hopes faint signals from dawn of universe could be detected from far side of moon
A British space company is designing a fleet of satellites that could orbit the moon and map the early universe.
The Italian Space Agency has commissioned Blue Skies Space to design the satellites that could detect faint radio signals from the dawn of the universe. These signals are almost impossible to detect from Earth’s surface due to human-made radio interference, but the far side of the moon is shielded from this noise.
