Artists Conception of FASR
The Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR) is an ultra-wideband radio array that will operate over a frequency range of 50 MHz to more than 20 GHz, or wavelengths of <1.5 cm to 6 m. The proposed site is the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California.

FASR will image radio emission from the middle-chromosphere to the outer corona in three dimensions once every second, providing unique measurements of coronal magnetic fields, solar flares, and drivers of space weather.

FASR was ranked as a priority project by the Solar and Space Physics Survey Committee decadal review and by the Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee decadal review.
