One of the "future plans" from the late Classic to early BOINC era was to conduct a search for signals collected by antennas located in the southern hemisphere. I don't see it mentioned in the new "future plans" link. Is this still on the "to do" list? |

I don't see it mentioned in the new "future plans" link. To answer your question, we really don't know. Right now, they're primarily focusing on getting new equipment shipped and set up at Arecibo for the ALFA project and the 7-beam receiver. This should enhance the ability of the Northern Hemisphere,(0-30 DEgrees anyway) searching and thus we should get a better picture of that band. We haven't heard anything about the Southern Hemisphere searches save that it was costly and the funding levels ran out for any sort of similar dedicated searching. The person who posted the link is giving you a good background info. site but nothing new has been added to that page since 2002. |
