Mission Control — System Nominal
Charting the cosmos, one anomaly at a time. We are an open research collective pushing the boundaries of what humanity can observe, understand, and reach.
Long-baseline interferometry survey mapping stellar nurseries across the outer arm of the Milky Way at sub-arcsecond resolution.
ActiveDeployment of a distributed communication relay network optimised for ultra-long-baseline data return from deep-space probes.
ActiveSystematic photometric survey of trans-Neptunian objects, characterising size distributions and surface compositions beyond 40 AU.
CompleteWeak gravitational lensing tomography to reconstruct the three-dimensional distribution of dark matter in the local cosmic web.
ActiveReal-time detection and localisation of extragalactic fast radio bursts using a global array of radio telescope nodes.
ActiveConceptual design study for an autonomous atmospheric entry vehicle capable of extended methane-lake surface operations on Titan.

"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."
Astrophysicist specialising in dark matter distribution and gravitational lensing tomography.
Spacecraft systems engineer with 14 years of deep-space telemetry and propulsion design.
Leads the FRB monitoring network and real-time transient detection pipeline across 6 continents.
Builds ML models for classifying anomalous signals in petabyte-scale radio telescope datasets.
Designs adaptive optics systems for ground-based interferometry and orbital telescope calibration.
Architects the distributed storage and CDN layer that moves petabytes of observation data globally.
Seven researchers from four countries pool resources to form NOVA as an independent, open-access deep-space observation network.
The first distributed radio interferometry array achieves baseline coherence, immediately flagging a candidate FRB in M31.
A three-year photometric catalogue of 14,000 trans-Neptunian objects is published and made freely available under CC0.
First relay node deployed into heliocentric orbit, tripling the data-return rate from distant probes and doubling uptime windows.
Weak lensing tomography coverage now spans 18% of the observable sky — on track for a full-sky composite by late 2027.
