In the [[1980s]], the [[Pharos Project]] was a space programme designed to communicate with extraterrestrial civilisations. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'')

In [[2008]], the Pharos Institute were tapping the vast potential of the [[MITRE headset|MITRE telekinetic headset]].

However, the organisation had been infiltrated by [[Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen]], who was manipulating the researchers so that the headset could be used for sinister purposes.


[[Sarah Jane Smith]] broke into the Institute and stole the prototype for [[Mr Smith]] to examine. Korst and two other Slitheen, working in collusion with Mr Smith, took [[Luke Smith]] hostage and wired him into the stolen headset. The resultant telekinetic power was to be drained and sold off piece by piece but Mr Smith used it to nearly bring [[the Moon]] crashing into the [[Earth]]. The disaster was finally averted by a reformed Mr Smith, whom Sarah Jane had reprogrammed with a computer virus. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lost Boy (TV story)|The Lost Boy]]'')

Another ongoing project of the Institute was the research of space debris. Samples were probed for any signs of extraterrestrial life. They found some clues in Martian meteor fragments and in [[2008]] had the [[Weserbergland meteorite]] on loan for research. This allowed the entity known as the [[Pied Piper]] to terrorise [[Ealing]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Clown (TV story)|The Day of the Clown]]'')

One of the scientists working at the Institute was [[Celeste Rivers|Professor Rivers]]. The Institute was also assisted in its research by [[Nathan Goss]], an arrogant boy genius who was in fact [[Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen]] of the family [[Slitheen]] in disguise.
