The concept of the receiving complex for the “Millimetron” space radio telescope

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the current status of research in the development of a submillimeter and far-infrared receiving instrument and propose promising solutions for the receivers of the spaceborne telescope “Millimetron,” which allow one to realize comprehensively the opportunities given by this international project administrated by the Astrospace Center of the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
