Abstract
The SETI (“Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence”’) Program is a NASA Research and Development Program with primary thrust to search the microwave region of the spectrum for signals of extraterrestrial intelligent origin. The Program will search a well defined volume of “search parameter space” using existing antennae and a new, sophisticated data acquisition and analysis system. The Program includes two major components — the “target survey”, which will observe at very high sensitivity all attractive stellar candidates within 75 light years of the sun, and the “sky survey”’, which will observe the entire celestial sphere at a lower sensitivity.
