^ Telescope Name ^ Location ^ Frequency Range ^ Number of Antennas ^ Key Scientific Objectives ^ Notable Features ^
| **LOFAR (Low Frequency Array)** | Primarily Netherlands, with stations across Europe | 10–240 MHz | ~50 stations | Cosmic magnetism, Epoch of Reionization, solar and space weather studies | Network of dipole antennas with digital beamforming, wide field of view |
| **MWA (Murchison Widefield Array)** | Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, Western Australia | 80–300 MHz | 128 tiles (each with 16 dipoles) | Epoch of Reionization, solar physics, transient events | Precursor to the SKA, large field of view, rapid surveys |
| **NenuFAR (New Extension in Nançay Upgrading LOFAR)** | Nançay, France | 10–85 MHz | 1,938 antennas (planned) | Exoplanet detection, Cosmic Dawn, pulsars | Functions autonomously and as a LOFAR "superstation" for enhanced sensitivity |
| **SKA-Low (Square Kilometre Array – Low Frequency)** | Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, Western Australia | 50–350 MHz | ~131,072 antennas (planned) | Early Universe studies, cosmic magnetism, galaxy evolution | World's largest planned radio telescope, high sensitivity and survey speed |
| **GO-LoW (Great Observatory for Long Wavelengths)** | Proposed space-based array (L5) | 100 kHz–15 MHz | Thousands of SmallSats (planned) | Exoplanet magnetic fields, interstellar medium | Overcomes Earth's ionospheric limitations, SmallSat constellation interferometry |
