GUSTO, which stands for Galactic/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory, will unravel the mysteries of star and planet formation by focusing on the molecular clouds that precede the birth of stars. The telescope, which will be launched “before December 21”, will look for signals from carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
The advanced GUSTO radio system, led by Chris Walker of the University of Arizona, will tune the terahertz frequencies emitted by cosmic particles, opening the door to unprecedented capabilities. The mission also promises to reveal the three-dimensional structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a visible galaxy near the Milky Way.
This groundbreaking effort is the first mission of the NASA Explorers Program and demonstrates the agency’s commitment to cutting-edge scientific research using innovative technologies. Get ready for a cosmic show as GUSTO takes us on a one-of-a-kind celestial journey!
