밝은 하늘: 이하의 망원경이 중국이 건조하고 있는 세계최대 전파망원경이다. 금년 9월 오픈할 예정으로, 공정률 98%라고 한다. 한화로 2천억원이 투입된 중국의 국가주도 우주 프로젝트이다.
Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope

300 m (effective)[2]:12Collecting area 70000 m2 Focal length 140 m (f/0.466)[2]:12 Dome none Website fast .bao .ac .cn /en / The Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) (Chinese: 五百米口径球面射电望远镜) or Tianyan (Chinese: 天眼) is a radio telescope under construction located in the Dawodang depression (Chinese: 大窝凼洼地), a natural basin in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, southwest China.[4]
Construction on the FAST project began in 2011 and has been completed in July 2016. It is expected to be operational by September 2016.[5] It will be the world's second largest radio telescope (after the Russian RATAN-600, which has a sparsely filled aperture).[2][6] It costs 700 million yuan[7] (around 110 million US dollars at the time).

History[edit]
The telescope was first proposed in 1994. The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission(NDRC) in July 2007.[8] A 65-person village was relocated from the valley to make room for the telescope[9] and an additional 9,110 people living within a 5 km radius of the telescope were relocated to create a radio-quiet area.[9][10]
On December 26, 2008, a foundation laying ceremony was held on the construction site.[11] Construction started in March 2011,[7][12] and the last panel was installed on the morning of 3 July 2016.[9][12][13][14]
Overview[edit]
FAST has 4450[9] triangular panels and is similar in design to the Arecibo Observatory, utilizing a natural hollow (karst) to provide support for the telescope dish. As the name suggests, it will have a diameter of 500 metres (1,600 ft). Unlike Arecibo, which has a fixed spherical curvature (and thus a complex feed system to counter spherical aberration), FAST uses an active surface that continually adjusts to create a parabola aligned with the desired sky direction. FAST will have an effective dish size of 300 m (achieved by Arecibo only for observations at zenith). FAST will be capable of covering the sky within ±40° from the zenith (compared to Arecibo's ±20° range), although the effective aperture is reduced by vignetting at angles above ±30°.[2]:13 Its pointing precision will be 8 arcseconds.[2]:24[8]:179
Its working frequency range of 70 MHz to 3.0 GHz,[15] is covered by 9 receivers,[2]:30 with the 1.23–1.53 GHz band around the hydrogen line using a 19-beam receiver built by the CSIRO as part of the ACAMAR collaboration between the Australian Academy of Science and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.[16]
The site's karst depression is large enough to host the 500-meter telescope and deep enough to allow a zenith angle of 40°. The light-weight feed cabin—suspended 140 m above the reflector—will be driven by cables and servomechanisms in addition to a parallel robot as a secondary adjustable system to move with high precision.
The chief scientist of the project is Nan Rendong (Chinese: 南仁东),[14] a researcher with the Chinese National Astronomical Observatory, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The report said officials were moving 2,029 families, a total of 9,110 people, who live within about three miles of the telescope in the area of Pingtang and Luodian Counties in the southwestern province of Guizhou. Depopulating the area will create "a sound electromagnetic wave environment" for the telescope, Xinhua said.
