- find radio astronomy projects

## When to choose
- you need a starting point to discover space-related tools and data
- you want curated, maintained links across the whole space domain

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable library rather than a link list
- you need deep reviews or tutorials for a single tool

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: astronomy, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, space, curated-resources, astronomy-apis, satellites
