SETI Live: Students Conduct Research and Design for New Lunar-Based Telescope

The SETI Institute teamed up with Louisiana State University (LSU) and Mississippi State University (MSU) to help students design the science program for AstronetX PBC's first lunar-based camera (L-CAM 1). L-CAM1 will capture images for research in astrophysics, planetary science and planetary defense. Dr. Tabetha Boyajian (LSU) leads the project. This week the team announced the science goals for L-CAM1, with a focus on characterizing asteroids and exoplanets. Join us as Beth Johnson discusses the project with Boyajian to find out how the students approached the project, why these science goals were selected and what the team hopes to learn.
