Abstract | The lunar surface offers several advantages for astronomical observations at low radio frequencies. These include shielding from terrestrial interference on the farside, shielding from solar emission half the time, and stable, easily calibrated array baselines. Low frequency radio astronomy offers compelling science in multiple areas, from cosmology to extrasolar planets. It is likely to be one of the first large-scale scientific deployments on the lunar surface. But the lunar ionosphere could limit observations at the lowest frequencies during lunar daytime. This has serious implications for observations of solar and heliospheric radio bursts, whose radio emission occurs below 1 MHz except when the emitting regions are very close to the Sun. The objective of the LAPS (Lunar Array Precursor Station) instrument described here is to measure the absorption of low frequency radio signals by the lunar ionosphere as a function of time and frequency. These measurements will greatly increase our understanding of the magnitude and evolution of electron density near the lunar surface during all phases of the lunar day-night cycle. They will directly determine the minimum usable observing frequency as a function of time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
