Caption

Schematic illustration showing the motivation for space-based radio observations from the far side of the Moon. Earth-based observations are hindered by radio interference and the ionosphere. The far side of the Moon offers a radio-quiet environment, ideal for detecting the faint Dark Age signal. Artistic impressions of three planned missions—Tsukuyomi(Japan), CLPS (USA), and DSL (China)—are also shown.
