    DescriptionThe SPace-based Interferometry Network (SPIN) project brings together scientists and industry from 13 Dutch organizations to develop breakthrough technologies for space-based radio telescopes. Led by Dr Raj Thilak Rajan from TU Delft’s faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, and TU Delft Faculty of Aerospace, and Prof Mark Bentum from Eindhoven University of Technology, the project focuses on low-frequency radio waves to target the last unexplored region of the cosmos— unobservable from Earth due to atmospheric interference. The consortium project has now received funding through NWO’s Partnerships for Space Instruments & Applications Preparatory Programme (PIPP). Congratulations to all the partners involved!
