Radio JOVE is back with a new offering.  The SARA Grant committee will offer Radio JOVE 2.0 to students world wide. If interested please take a look at the SARA Grant page at Radio-astronomy.org

 

Dear Radio Enthusiast,

 

The Radio JOVE Project  is pleased to announce Radio JOVE 2.0, an exciting NASA Partner citizen science project where participants purchase,

assemble, and operate a 16-24 MHz radio spectrograph to observe solar, Jupiter, Galactic, and Earth-based radio emissions. Participants have a

path to become a citizen scientist capable of contributing scientific-quality data to our data archive. We will continue to support both hardware

and software for those participants with RJ1.1 receivers (and calibrators) and we encourage those observers to participate in our citizen science

projects.

 

Read the full announcement in our Special Bulletin: https://radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov/newsletters/

 

  As part of our new direction into citizen science, Radio JOVE has also upgraded our listserv. Register with our Groups.io group (https://groups.io/g/radio-jove)

and receive discussions about the Radio JOVE project. This listserv is an invaluable source of information relating to all things Radio JOVE. The old listserv will

be turned off by April 15, 2022, so we strongly encourage participants to move to our Groups.io list to continue communicating with us and receiving RJ

information.

 

Visit our Getting Started webpage for more about how to participate in Radio JOVE.

 

We are excited to start this new science adventure with you.

Best regards,

 

The Radio JOVE Team

Student here! I was wondering how much space is required for the antennas?

Hi,
The antenna I've seen is about 25'x 25' - a dual-dipole - I believe that is still the antenna being used. There are other designs that can work - if size is an issue, I would contact them directly - the people there are quite helpful and supportive!
If you are a student, and decided to do this project, you should check out our grant program and see if you want to apply for a grant.
Best of luck with your project!
Take care!
Jon

A few questions about the grant:
1. Is a teacher sponsor required? Or can a group of students work on the project independently?
2. Where do I find the list of mentors on the website?
