FARSIDE: A Low Radio Frequency Interferometric Array on the Lunar Farside
Abstract
FARSIDE is a Probe-class concept to place a low radio frequency interferometric array on the farside of the Moon. FARSIDE would enable monitoring of the nearest stellar systems in the search for the radio signatures of coronal mass ejections, and would also detect the magnetospheres for the nearest candidate habitable exoplanets.
