Does anyone know if there is an official site/repo/page for this project somewhere with info about the actual design?
Another radio telescope project I saw a while ago """misused""" low cost universal GNSS receivers ICs (MAX2769) as their RF frontend, which I found to be novel since these chips operate in a weird performance regime of low resolution (1- or 2-bit output) but very high sensitivity.

The HN discussion (2020) about this can be found there:
Who in the world would have the expertise to operate one of these? In a “low resource” high school? The problem isn’t (just) having the equipment.
There are so few teachers with enough knowledge to engage. Well-resourced, highly motivated kids might be able to read on line, but that’s a real stretch for the rest.
