Free shipping anywhere in the United NASA Conference Publication 3039 examining the scientific and engineering possibilities of establishing a very-low-frequency radio telescope array on the Moon\'s far side.

Published in November 1989, this technical volume contains proceedings from a workshop held February 18–19, 1988, at the BDM Corporation in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

An interesting historical NASA research publication for collectors of lunar exploration, radio astronomy, astrophysics, and early Moon observatory concepts.

Historical Background:

The Moon\'s far side offers a unique environment for radio astronomy because it is naturally shielded from much of Earth\'s radio interference.

Scientists proposed placing low-frequency antenna arrays on the lunar surface to investigate radio signals that are difficult or impossible to observe from Earth due to interference and the effects of Earth\'s ionosphere.

This NASA workshop explored:

• Lunar far-side radio telescope astronomy and astrophysics

• Proposed antenna array designs and configurations

• Lunar site selection and environmental challenges

• Scientific objectives and potential discoveries

• Engineering requirements and precursor observations

The publication documents an early vision of using the Moon as a platform for advanced astronomical research, decades before modern proposals for lunar far-side radio observatories.
