Question

Which among the following is a policy challenge for radio astronomy systems?

(a) Determination reception parameters to avoid interference

(b) Determination of the location of the fixed receiver

(c) Determination of transmission power

(d) Determination of operation frequency

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) Determination of the location of the fixed receiver

To explain I would say: Radio astronomy studies the celestial phenomena by measuring the radio waves characteristics emitted by the physical processes occurring in space. The location of the fixed receiver is a policy challenge as the receiver has to be located at a spot with minimum interference from commercial systems.
