  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 15, 2025 Blue Skies Space has secured funding from the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to explore the design of a CubeSat-based satellite constellation capable of orbiting the Moon and conducting observations of the early universe. The initiative, known as RadioLuna, will assess whether a network of compact satellites placed in lunar orbit could detect the elusive radio emissions from the universe's formative period. These signals, which lie in the FM radio band, originate from a time before star formation, whe ... read more |
