OVERVIEW
- The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment (LuSEE-Night) is a planned robotic radio telescope observatory designed to land and function on the far side of Earth’s Moon
- The instrument will utilize deployable antennas and radio receivers to potentially observe these sensitive radio waves from the Dark Ages for the first time
- The main science instrument requires cooling
- A passive side-facing radiator design was selected for cooling, but the lunar environment presents some challenges for a radiator
