I Sent a Radio Signal to the Moon… And It Came Back!

Post author By admin
Post date June 2, 2024

Earth-Moon-Earth (EME), also known as moonbounce, is a form of radio communication where radio waves are transmitted from Earth, bounce off the surface of the Moon, and are received back on Earth. This technique allows for long-distance communication by utilizing the Moon as a passive reflector – and we tried this on 10 GHz with a big dish.
