About The LWA & The SWC

Exciting images such as the one shown here have fueled the activity behind the planning and creation of an array specifically designed to scan celestial objects at low frequencies (between 10MHz and 100MHz).

The area being promoted and supported in this effort is in the southwest United States, in the state of New Mexico.

A consortium of university and research entities has taken on the task of working to meet scientific and political goals in order to see an array constructed in this area.

The Southwest Consortium counts among its members such esteemed research organizations as Los Alamos National Laboratories, the University of New Mexico, and the University of Texas at Austin.

It is with this group that the Naval Research Labs are pooling their considerable research and resources in an effort to see an LWA installation constructed in the USA.
