The Africa2Moon project, led by African institutions, will send three spherical radio telescopes to the Moon's south pole aboard China's Chang'e-8 mission in 2029. These 'BALLS' devices will create a small network of radio telescopes to observe very low radio frequencies, allowing scientists to detect signals from the oldest and most distant cosmic objects. The far side of the Moon is considered the 'quietest' place in the radio spectrum near Earth, free from human activity and atmospheric disturbances.
