The Fucking Awesome Radio Telescope. Scheduled to orbit Uranus in observing extrasolar gas giants and terrestrial methane signatures in 2021.

POOP and TURD are still under construction, but can be expected to launch soon after FART proves not to be a huge stinker. Both of these are interferometers, and are lovingly dubbed Duces by their creators.

Look, you set up a fart joke, I really had no choice. Apologies in advance.
