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.

RELAY Communications Satellite

The RELAY communications satellite shown in a December 11, 1962 photo released by NASA. The 172-pound spacecraft eight sided prism is 33 inches high and 29 inches in diameter at tis broad end. The exterior composed of eight honeycomb aluminum panels studded with 8,215 solar cells. The communications satellite prime function will be used for technical experiments although public demonstrations of television, telephone calls, teletype photo facsimile, and high speed data will be transmitted. The 18-inch long wideband communications antenna points toward the Earth while Relay travels through space. Three of the four telemetry antennas are shown extending from the broad end. Mounted on the center panel are special solar cells and diodes which will be tested for radiation damage. Relay 1 was launched atop a Delta B rocket on December 13, 1962, from LC-17A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Credit: NASA via CNP
