CosmoCube Featured in Appleton Space Conference

At the 17th Appleton Space Conference, held on 2 December 2021, Dr Eloy de Lera Acedo delivered a presentation entitled “CosmoCube: What Happened After the Big Bang?”

The talk outlined the scientific motivation for CosmoCube — probing the “Dark Ages” of the Universe by observing the redshifted 21-cm hydrogen signal from lunar orbit — and introduced early ideas about mission design, instrumentation, and technical challenges.

This presentation helped raise awareness among space science stakeholders of CosmoCube’s ambitions and highlighted how UK institutions, including Cambridge, RAL Space, Portsmouth, and industry partners, are contributing to advancing the frontiers of cosmology and space instrumentation.
