According to the Xinhua Viewpoint WeChat official account on July 9, the reporter recently learned from the Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology that Beijing Institute of Technology will lead the development of the deep space detection radar “China Compound Eye” in Chongqing, with an expected range of 150 million kilometers. It is also the longest detection range radar in the world. Long Teng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Beijing Institute of Technology, introduced: The construction of the distributed radar project will fill the domestic gap in this capability, meet national needs such as near-Earth asteroid defense, space situational awareness, etc., and be used for earth habitability, planet formation, etc. Frontier research. It is understood that this project is the second phase of the “Super Large Distributed Aperture Radar High Resolution Deep Space Active Observation Facility”. The first phase of the project “Distributed Radar Astronomical Imaging Measuring Instrument Verification Test Site” located in Chongqing. The “Super Large Distributed Aperture Radar High-resolution Deep Space Active Observation Facility” is planned and constructed by the Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology. It will observe near-Earth/main-belt asteroids, the moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, etc. Why is it called “Chinese Compound Eye” .
