Blue Skies Space aims to create a fleet of satellites in the Moon's orbit through a contract with the Italian Space Agency. These satellites will focus on capturing primordial radio waves emitted by hydrogen atoms during the universe's 'dark ages,' pre-dating star formation. By utilizing CubeSats located on the lunar far side, scientists hope to mitigate Earthly radio interference and gain insights into the universe's evolution from a hydrogen fog to a structured galaxy framework. Dr. Marcell Tessenyi expects it's feasible to commercialize this effort after initial studies.
"Depending on the technical feasibility, the funding landscape, and the appropriate infrastructure, we anticipate being able to deliver such a system within five years of the end of the study."
