What's really out there? China is helping us find out. On September 2016, China unveiled the world's largest radio telescope, and has started test operations searching for signals to understand the origins of the universe and the Big Bang. This 500 metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, has been constructed over 5 years in a 45 million year old crater in Southern China. The remote location is highly unlikely location to be affected by flooding, and far from human interference which may affect the telescope's readings. The 500m dish surpasses Arecibo radio telescope, leaving it in second place as the Chinese telescope is 3 times more sensitive in detecting radio waves thousands of light years away.

On my recent tour to China, we had the privilege of being invited inside the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). This project managed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences will allow astronomers to observe to the early beginnings of the universe. I note that I said that the universe is roughly 12.8 billion years old in this video, according to the results of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data, the age of the universe is 13.772±0.059 billion years. FAST needs to employ around 300 astronomers to work at the observatory, and currently there is a shortage, which poses some challenges to get this instrument up to full performance capacity. It was a fascinating tour and we hope that you will someday visit the site, once the visitor's platform becomes available.

The search for answers as to whether we are alone in the universe just got a big boost from China. The FAST radio telescope in Guizhou, China is joining forces with U.S. researchers to comb the stars and the planets.CGTN’s Mark Niu reports.

FAST (Five-hundred meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope) is the world's largest radio telescope, and entered operation on September 25 2016, in a mountainous region of southwest China's Guizhou Province. As large as 30 football pitches, the dish is made of 4,450 large reflector panels, work on which began in 2011, with the mission being to further explore space and look for extraterrestrial life. Zhou Yonghe is a leading craftsman who was charged with the task of accurately fitting the last of the 4,450 panels into the center of the dish. Together with his colleagues, Zhou installed more than 400,000 mini reflector panels, finishing his task one month ahead of schedule.

In 2001, a radio telescope detected a very short and strange signal. It seems to come from a very distant galaxy. It was the first 'Fast Radio Burst' (FRB) observed, a mysterious signal that can teach us invaluable information about the content of the Universe. FRBs have been often in the news all around the world, although the information reported by the press has often been misleading. In this video we follow the scientific method to dig into the FRB enigma.

Construction of the world's largest telescope, the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), has been completed as the last reflector panel was hoisted onto the frame in Pingtang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, on Sunday. With a 1.6-kilometer circumference and 4,500 panels, FAST is expected to be able to detect radio signals from more than 1,000 light years away when it is fully functional. With a similar design to the Arecibo Observatory, it utilizes a natural hollow to provide support for the dish. The project's builder, the Wuchuang Shipbuilding Industry Group, used its unique air transfer and flexible hoisting plan to accelerate the project progress. Reflector panel is the core device that decides the telescope's radar coverage and detection precision. With a side length of 10 to 12 meters, each reflector panel is composed of 100 triangles and is made to millimeter level fabrication precision. With a total cost of nearly 1.2 billion yuan, the FAST project began in 2011. It will be the world's biggest single-aperture spherical radio telescope, and the most sensitive radio telescope in human history. The FAST will be put into operation this September and will find more pulsars, thus help them gain more understanding of the 'big bang'.

Follow Xinhua journalist Miao Xiaojun to witness the installation of the last panel of world’s largest radio telescope FAST in southwest China’s Guizhou. The project now enters adjustment period and is expected to start operation in September.

Xinhua's drone takes you to the world's largest radio telescope FAST in scenic mountains of southwest China’s Guizhou on the eve of its completion.

Follow Xinhua journalist Miao Xiaojuan to get inside the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, one day before its panel installation work completes in SW China's Guizhou.

The installation of the world's largest single-dish radio telescope FAST is nearing the end and is soon to be put into operation as the last part -- the feed cabin-- was installed on Friday. The 30-ton-heavy feed cabin, the core part or known as the "apple of the eye" for FAST, will be suspended 137 meters above the reflector and will go through electromagnetic interference test. It will be driven by cables and servomechanisms in addition to a parallel robot as a secondary adjustable system to move with high precision. Upon completion, the feed cabin will be hoisted up and down to receive air waves by cables from six tower supports with a height of about a 100 meters built in the hills around the depression. The cable net structure is connected by 9,000 strong steel cable wires to form a steel net in mid-air, weighing 1,600 tons. This is the first application of light support structure for such a giant telescope. The installation of all mirror telescopes of the FAST will be finished by Sunday. The 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) has 4,600 triangular panels and is similar in design to the Arecibo Observatory, utilizing a natural hollow to provide support for the telescope dish. The precision rate of the telescope will reach millimeter level, upon completion. Construction on the FAST project began in March 2011 with an investment of 700 million yuan and is scheduled for completion by September 2016.

The feed cabin has undergone a preliminary performance test in southwest China's Guizhou Province after construction on the main body structure of the world's largest single-dish radio telescope FAST almost came to an end. The 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) has 4,600 triangular panels and is similar in design to the Arecibo Observatory, utilizing a natural hollow (karst) to provide support for the telescope dish. The 30-ton-heavy feed cabin, the core part of FAST, will be suspended 140 meters above the reflector. It will be driven by cables and servomechanisms in addition to a parallel robot as a secondary adjustable system to move with high precision. "We have done relevant debugging tests before the feed cabin was moved out of plant to ensure its good performance. After assembling it at the site, we have done another debugging test on the platform. Then we will hoist the cabin and conduct a joint test with cables," said Yao Rui, head of the feed cabin system with FAST project. Upon completion, the feed cabin will be hoisted up and down to receive air waves by cables from six tower supports with height of about a hundred meters built in the hills around the depression. "If we compare FAST to a huge eye for watching the sky, the feed cabin is its pupil that helps the eye focus so that we can see more clearly," Yao said. Construction on the FAST project began in March 2011 with an investment of 700 million yuan and is scheduled for completion by September 2016.

The lens installation of the world's biggest single caliber radio telescope "FAST" in southwest China's Guizhou Province has been finished 96.27 percent as of Wednesday. A total of 4,284 reflector lenses, an equilateral triangle with a side length of 11 meters each, have been installed on the frame. Over 9,000 tight wires were used to hoist those lenses. "The (hoisting) devices work on an arc-shaped orbit, the first of its kind in China. We complete two pickups airborne and have to adjust them for installing all the 4,450 lenses of 186 varieties," said Zhou Gong, engineer in charge of reflector lens hoisting, FAST project. The 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, known as "a huge eye to watching the sky" is expected to be completed by September 2016. Upon completion, the telescope will be the world's largest of its kind, overtaking Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, which is 300 meters in diameter. "Now we can see pulsar, crab-shaped nebula and neutral hydrogen in the Milky Way Galaxy. So the optical path works but it's not agile enough. When the 'eye' opens, the vision will go farther," said Li Di, chief scientist of Radio Telescope Department with the National Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). Construction of the FAST began in March 2011 with an investment of 1.2 billion yuan.

China is building the world's largest radio telescope. The massive dish, when completed in the mountains of Guizhou Province, will be the size of 30 football pitches. Now, assembly work at the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, also known as FAST, has come to the final stage. WANG QIMING, Scientist of FAST project "Nearly 80 percent of the reflecting units have been assembled. In May we'll be able to put together gadgets at the center. We are expecting that the telescope would be ready for testing in June." The radio telescope is expected to be completed in September. Researchers say it will be able to detect radio signals, and potentially, signs of life, from the universe, some as far as tens of billions of light years away.

FAST – это наиболее чувствительный однозеркальный телескоп, сутью которого будет улавливание наиболее длинных радиосигналов (именуемых мазерами) и расчет их лучевой (радиальной) скорости. Эти функции позволят ученым с небывалой точностью определить источники, откуда идут эти сигналы. Кроме того, этот радиотелескоп сможет выполнять функцию радиостанции для будущих космических миссий».

China's new FAST radio telescope to succeed the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico, will scan for stars, planets, energy sources, and alien radio signals from billions of light years away. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/12021123/Amazing-pictures-show-finishing-touches-being-put-on-the-worlds-biggest-telescope.html http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

China is constructing a five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope or FAST, to pick up messages from outer space linked to intelligent life. When construction is complete China’s radio will be the largest in the world, replacing Puerto Rico’s three-hundred-meter wide Arecibo Observatory. China also plans to launch a space station and mann a mission to the moon in the 2020’s. Jose Marcelino Ortiz and Margaret J. Howell discuss China’s space program on The Lip News. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/china-fast-telescope-search-for-alien-life-a6690681.html http://thelip.tv/ http://www.youtube.com/theliptv2

In Pingtang County, Chinese engineers are building the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, or FAST. The telescope is under construction and is expected to be completed in 2016. It will be the world's largest telescope, outdoing Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory by 200 meters.

The building of the 500-meter aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) is progressing well in southwest China's Guizhou Province with reflector units being installed. FAST will effectively help mankind better probe the universe after completion in 2016, according to scientists. The installation of 4,450 reflector units underway is a complicated process which will affect the accuracy of the telescope, whose dish is the size of 30 football grounds. Each panel is an equilateral triangle with a side length of 11 meters. Cables are fixed to the back of each panel so that it can change positions with an accuracy of 1 mm, ensuring the telescope to receive from different angles. The telescope is unique in its design with three active layers. The first is made up of over 2,000 bars, while the second comprises steel cables and over 4,000 reflector units. The third consists of a feed cabin structure which can move on the reflector units. A radio signal as far as tens of billions of light years away could possibly be caught by the telescope, which will extend China's space tracking scope from moon's orbit to the outer edge of the solar system. The scientists said the unique design will create a large-diameter and movable observation effects for the first time in the world and the telescope will become a big sensitive "ear", listening to subtle sounds from distant universes, decoding cosmic messages The single-aperture spherical telescope will be the world's largest, overtaking Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, which is 300 meters in diameter. Its completion will mark a new step forward in the astronomy research field and signifies China's new level in researching, developing, and manufacturing large scientific research installations.
