The Jilin radio telescope, under construction, aims to surpass existing capabilities, helping scientists better understand celestial bodies through its advanced steerable design and measurement techniques.
China's construction of the 120-meter Jilin telescope marks a significant advancement in radio astronomy, enabling precise distance measurement to planets and asteroids through electromagnetic reception.
The new Jilin telescope is set to complete its installation, adjustment, and testing by 2028, coinciding with the projected completion of the Square Kilometer Array Observatory.
While FAST is currently the world's largest telescope, the Jilin design provides full steerability, enhancing its capability to observe a diverse array of celestial phenomena.
