Radio Jove at LASP

Radio Jove at LASP is a radio telescope that has been set up on East Campus of the University of Colorado. The goal is to detect radio signals from Jupiter, and will operate through Jupiter’s radio observing season – while the Juno spacecraft is in orbit around Jupiter – flying though the radio emission regions.
