Scientific paper

The author reviews the major features of the radio astronomy experiment onboard the two Voyager spacecraft. In addition, the major sources of noise in the near-Earth environment are identified. They are: (1) terrestrial atmospherics, (2) terrestrial kilometric radiation, and (3) solar Type III bursts. Interference from all but the last is eliminated by observing from the lunar far-side. Based on experience with numerous classes of spaced-based radio astronomy experiments, the use of relatively simple antennas with a sophisticated observing scheme seems not only expedient but most likely to operate effectively on the Moon.
