Core Concepts & Projects

ATA • Radio Astronomy • Hat Creek Radio Observatory • HCRO

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA)

The ATA is the first radio telescope designed from the ground up to be used for SETI searches. #ATA #Radio Astronomy #Hat Creek Radio Observatory #HCRO

COSMIC • VLA

COSMIC at the Very Large Array

The Commensal Open-Source Multimode Interferometer Cluster (COSMIC) is a new commensal Ethernet-based digital signal processing backend and computer cluster on the VLA in New Mexico operated through the NRAO. #COSMIC #VLA

Discovery and Futures Lab

Discovery and Futures Lab

What happens if life beyond Earth is discovered? The Discovery and Futures Lab at the SETI Institute fosters novel and anticipatory research at the intersection of science, society, our planet, and the search for life beyond Earth.  #Discovery and Futures Lab

CAMS • Meteors • Meteorites • Comets • Asteroids • Comets, Meteors, and Asteroids • Peter Jenniskens

Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance (CAMS)

The CAMS network uses an array of low-light video surveillance cameras positioned around the world that keep a constant watch on the night sky. #CAMS #Meteors #Meteorites #Comets #Asteroids #Comets, Meteors, and Asteroids #Peter Jenniskens

LaserSETI • Optical SETI

LaserSETI

SETI Institute’s LaserSETI program is building a network of instruments to monitor the entire night sky. This network represents an unprecedented growth in the continuing search for manifestations of sophisticated intelligence beyond Earth. #LaserSETI #Optical SETI

GNU Radio • Radio Astronomy

GNU Radio and SETI

GNU technology could revolutionize the development of receiving equipment for SETI (and for radio astronomy in general.) It promises to speed the design of new receivers, and to allow scientists to quickly change how data are analyzed and displayed. #GNU Radio #Radio Astronomy
