Spherical Radio Telescope - China

This photo taken on September 25, 2024 shows the newly installed first test prototype of the Core Array of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope under the starry sky in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Wednesday marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). On the same day, the construction of the Core Array of FAST started, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research. As a proposed extension of FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site. The Chinese-designed array will combine the unprecedented sensitivity of FAST with a high angular resolution, thereby exceeding the capabilities at similar frequencies of next-generation arrays in the world.

Floating antidisaster base heads for Osaka

SAKAIDE, Japan - The ''Minifloat'' antidisaster offshore base, a 6,900-ton transportable floating platform, leaves Sakaide, Kagawa Prefecture, western Japan, where it was built, on March 13 for Osaka. The 80-meter x 40-meter platform is capable of docking ships of around 2,000 tons, serving as a large-scale heliport, and carrying enough food and water supplies for 100,000 disaster victims.
