What is the primary scientific goal of the Blue Skies Space project, and what is its significance for understanding the early universe?

Blue Skies Space, a British company, has been commissioned by the Italian Space Agency to design a fleet of satellites for detecting faint radio signals from the early universe. These signals, almost undetectable from Earth due to interference, will be sought from the moon's far side, which is shielded from this noise. The €200,000 design project aims to determine the feasibility of using four or more satellites for this purpose.
