Extract
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute of Technology) has recently begun preparations for a modest SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) project at radio wavelengths. The proposed project is two-fold: (1) to search the entire sky visible from Goldstone, California (site of one of the NASA Deep Space Network Stations), i.e. that north of δ ∼ −30°, at all frequencies between 1 and 24 GHz using a horn receiver and (2) to carry out a more sensitive sky search at a few selected frequency bands, using dedicated 26 and 10m antennas. The search will be for signals of the type unlikely to be produced by natural causes, e.g. narrow spikes in frequency space. The basic rationale behind this search is discussed by Murray, Gulkis and Edelson (1978).
