“An open-source communications hardware & software initiative empowering the public to connect across the world by bouncing signals off the Moon”
A New Frontier for Ham Radio
Bouncing signals off the Moon—known as Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication—has long been the ultimate challenge for radio amateurs. It required large antennas, expensive equipment, and accurate manual pointing and tracking. We try to bring this down to Earth, providing all the tools needed to experience the thrill of space communication, with an open source software-defined phased array.
