Scientists at Bengaluru’s Raman Research Institute have built a lab-model receiver for PRATUSH, a proposed lunar mission to study the birth of the first stars & galaxies by detecting faint hydrogen signals (55–110 MHz) from the Moon’s far side — shielded from Earth’s radio noise.
In a feat of innovation, the team showed that this complex digital receiver can be run using a simple Raspberry Pi. Once approved, PRATUSH will orbit the Moon for 2 years, putting India at the forefront of cosmology research. 🌑📡 In this context, Dr. Mayuri S. Rao, Associate Professor-I at Raman Research Institute and Principal Investigator of PRATUSH, discussed the mission in detail with ETV Bharat’s Sr. Journalist Dr. Anubha Jain in an exclusive interview.
