China revealed Asia's largest telescope

On October 28, China revealed one of Asia's largest radio telescopes at the foot of Sheshan Mountain in Shanghai, to collect data from space exploration satellites.

The telescope will combine with VLBI system in 4 cities to follow
monitor China's satellites and space exploration equipment.

The telescope is 65 meters long, with 10 observatories that can receive 8 different frequency bands, using radio antennas, to be used to track and collect data from the left satellites. Land, moon exploration satellite and deep space exploration devices.

'We hope the new radio telescope will go into operation soon to be able to use it to observe the unmanned spacecraft Hang Nga-2 to explore the moon,' said Wu Weiren, Director The design of the Moon Orbit project said.

At the same time, the new telescope will be combined with a long-range radio interference meter (VLBI), a type of device used in radio astronomy, that can collect accurate data and increase Astronomical observation angle resolution. China has now set up a VLBI system from four telescopes in Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming and Urumqi cities.

Reportedly, the first radio antennas were used to identify astronomical radio sources invented by Karl Guthe Jansky, an engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, in the early 1930s. applied in the construction of radio telescopes.
