Receiver Architecture Sensitivity

Architecture Detection Mechanism Est. Sensitivity
Terrestrial 70m DSN Induced Current + Cryogenic LNA ~0.14 µV/m/√Hz
Standard Rydberg Cell Quantum AC Stark Shift (EIT) ~1.25 µV/m/√Hz
Cavity-Enhanced Rydberg EIT + Passive Dielectric Amp. ~0.021 µV/m/√Hz
Superheterodyne Rydberg EIT + Local Oscillator RF Mixing < 0.01 µV/m/√Hz
Note: An un-enhanced standard Rydberg cell is geometrically insufficient and inferior to a DSN dish. The V-LOR architecture mandates superheterodyne LO mixing to approach the Standard Quantum Limit.

The Piggyback Protocol: Beating the Clock

The execution of V-LOR operates against an unforgiving deadline. Voyager 1’s RTG power margins are projected to fall below the minimum threshold by 2036, and potentially much earlier (within 5-10 years) depending on the rate of thermocouple degradation.

To beat this clock, V-LOR components cannot wait for dedicated mega-launches. They must be "piggybacked" on existing commercial lunar payload services (CLPS) and Artemis architecture. A LUNARSABER mast and a modular Rydberg receiver can hitch a ride as secondary payloads. Even if Voyager falls silent before completion, this infrastructure will permanently serve as the ultimate deep-space listening post for all future interstellar probes.
