RRI joins India’s historic first winter expedition to Arctic

Raman Research Institute (RRI) will lead India's first winter expedition to the Arctic in collaboration with the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR). The expedition aims to characterize the radio frequency environment in the Svalbard region for precision astronomy measurements. The team will focus on low-frequency radio telescopes and evaluate the radio quietness of the location. This mission aligns with India's presence in the Arctic since 2008 and will provide insights for deploying the SARAS radio telescope in Ny-Ålesund.
