01
OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION / ~30 KM
Our project will investigate how atmospheric distortion from the ground up to approximately 30 km affects optical signal transmission and assess coating performance in reducing these effects. This data will be beneficial to the research and performance of ground-to-satellite laser communication.
02
RADIO TELESCOPE ARRAY / OPEN SOURCE
This is a multi-phase project to develop an array of radio telescopes and synchronization software for collecting data and imaging celestial bodies. The long-term goal is to make the project open source, enabling others to build, connect, and contribute to a collaborative global radio astronomy network.
