What is Argus Doing?
A full scale observing program is not yet in place. Issues of storage, archiving and display are still being addressed. New hardware to implement the evolving capabilities are being purchased and plans are developing for which problems to address first. At present the techniques of utilizing geosynchronous satellites as beacons and the potential of observing what lies beyond them in the radio sky is being explored. The brightest sources are being observed and problems of calibration, tracking and transient source detection and identification are on the docket for investigation. Remote access and operation of the Argus system is being developed. One of the great advantages of the concept is that multiple users and remote observers can simultaneously make use of the instrument and its output. These and other projects have now become top priority for the Argus project. Development toward solutions of these problems will occupy the Argus team for the next several years.
