Their contributions to the international SKA project are classified as either: Precursors, Pathfinders or Design Studies. Precursor facility: A telescope on one of the two SKA candidate sites, carrying out SKA-related activity. Pathfinder: A telescope or programme carrying out SKA-related technology, science and operations activity.
LISA Pathfinder, formerly Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology-2 (SMART-2), was an ESA spacecraft that was launched on 3 December 2015 on board Vega flight VV06. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The mission tested technologies needed for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), an ESA gravitational wave observatory planned to be launched ...
Stefano Vitale (born 1951, Naples, Italy) is an Italian physicist and a retired professor of experimental physics at the University of Trento. [1] He is known for his scientific contributions [2] in the field of gravitational wave (GW) research and the successful management of international scientific projects.
Cosmic Vision. ← ATHENA. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned space probe to detect and accurately measure gravitational waves [ 2 ] —tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime —from astronomical sources. [ 3 ] LISA will be the first dedicated space-based gravitational-wave observatory.
PathfinderPathfinder Plus. The NASA Pathfinder and NASA Pathfinder Plus were the first two aircraft developed as part of an evolutionary series of solar - and fuel-cell -system-powered unmanned aerial vehicles. AeroVironment, Inc. developed the vehicles under NASA's Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) program.
Mars Pathfinder[ 1 ] is an American robotic spacecraft that landed a base station with a roving probe on Mars in 1997. It consisted of a lander, renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station, and a lightweight, 10.6 kg (23 lb) wheeled robotic Mars rover named Sojourner, [ 4 ] the first rover to operate outside the Earth–Moon system.
The NASA Pathfinder Plus electric-powered unmanned aerial vehicle. NASA's Pathfinder, Pathfinder Plus, Centurion, and Helios were a series of solar and fuel cell system–powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) developed by AeroVironment, Inc. from 1983 until 2003 under NASA's Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology program.
Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. The ASKAP radio telescope is a radio telescope array located at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The facility began as a technology demonstrator for the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA), an ...
