Magnetism

• And thanks to new technologies and public-private partnerships, these projects will open up new realms of scientific possibility.
• NASA’s commercial lunar payload services program, or CLPS, will use uncrewed landers to conduct NASA’s first science experiments from the Moon in over 50 years.
• Rather than NASA building the landers and operating the program, commercial companies will do so in a public-private partnership.

CLPS launches

• The first two CLPS payloads are scheduled to launch during the first two months of 2024.
• There’s the Astrobotics payload, which launched Jan. 8 before experiencing a fuel issue that cut its journey to the Moon short.
• Next, there’s the Intuitive Machines payload, with a launch scheduled for mid-February.

Radio telescopes on the Moon

• The Moon – particularly the far side of the Moon – is an ideal place to do radio astronomy and study signals from extraterrestrial objects such as the Sun and the Milky Way galaxy.
• On Earth, the ionosphere, which contains Earth’s magnetic field, distorts and absorbs radio signals below the FM band.
• The Moon has no ionosphere, and with about 2,000 miles of rock between the Earth and the far side of the Moon, there’s no interference.
• The same kind of discharge happens on the Moon from the charged gas, but it’s potentially more harmful to astronauts.

Solar and exoplanet radio emissions

• The Sun’s surface releases shock waves that send out highly energetic particles and low radio frequency emissions.
• We’ll use the radio telescopes to measure these emissions and to see bursts of low-frequency radio waves from shock waves within the solar wind.
• If we detect the same kind of radio emissions that come from Earth, this will tell us that the planet has a magnetic field.

Cosmology on the Moon

• The Lunar Surface Electromagnetic Experiment at Night, or LuSEE-Night, will fly in early 2026 to the far side of the Moon.
• LuSEE-Night marks scientists’ first attempt to do cosmology on the Moon.
• Since the far side of the Moon is uniquely radio quiet, it’s the best place to do cosmological observations.
• That process is going to start in 2026 with the LuSEE-Night mission, which is both a fundamental physics experiment and a cosmology experiment.

• VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Uranium Ltd. (“Standard Uranium” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: STND) (OTCQB: STTDF) (Frankfurt: FWB:9SU) is pleased to announce the acquisition by staking of three new 100% owned uranium exploration properties in the Athabasca Basin region, northern Saskatchewan.
• Overview map of Standard Uranium’s ten Athabasca projects, highlighting the newly staked Cable Bay SW, Ox Lake, and Brown Lake Projects.
• “Dedication and focus have once again paid off with the addition of this latest set of properties,” stated Neil McCallum, lead technical director of Standard.
• The staking of these Projects fits with the Company’s strategy to increase its landholdings in the infrastructure-rich eastern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada.

• Skyharbour recently acquired these claims through online staking as well as acquiring additional claims from Eagle Plains.
• Eagle Point, Rabbit Lake, Key Lake and others), as well as for additional pegmatite-hosted uranium, thorium, and REE mineralization.
• Skyharbour recently acquired other uranium properties consisting of 7 claims totaling 23,822 hectares in and around the Athabasca Basin.
• Skyharbour announces that it has engaged Winning Media LLC (“Winning Media”) to provide marketing and digital advertising services to the Company.
