Proposed by Ronald N. Bracewell in 1960, a Bracewell probe is defined as a hypothetical autonomous interstellar space probe designed for communication with alien civilizations. It offers a potential solution to the inherent challenges of interstellar radio communication, such as signal delay, synchronization, and detection over vast distances.
