Hongmeng project

The Hongmeng project, also known as the Discovering Sky at the Longest wavelength (DSL) project, is a planned Chinese space mission.[1] The basic concept of the project is to launch an array of satellites to a lunar (selenocentric) orbit, to observe the sky at the heretofore unexplored ultralong wavelength part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and probe the early history of the Universe.
