Raytheon has partnered with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Green Bank Observatory to use the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope to collect new imagery of the moon and its surface. Raytheon outfitted the telescope with a transmitter to emit radar signals into space.

This partnership is researching how this new radio telescope system will enhance detection and imaging of small objects passing by the Earth, moons orbiting around other planets and other debris in the solar system.
