The Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment (BVEX)
The Balloon-borne VLBI EXperiment (BVEX) is aimed at proving that a radio telescope mounted on a high-altitude helium balloon can be partnered with ground-based radio dishes to create an Earth-spanning radio telescope. BVEX uses VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry), a powerful technique used in radio astronomy wher...
