China doubles down on building telescopes in Thailand
China has completed its first overseas new-generation radio telescope in northern Thailand, bolstering a global scientific network that monitors deep space signals and tracks subtle shifts in the Earth's rotation and tectonic plates.
China has completed its first overseas new-generation radio telescope in northern Thailand, bolstering a global scientific network that monitors deep space signals and tracks subtle shifts in the Earth's rotation and tectonic plates. Together with a second telescope under construction in Songkhla, southern Thailand, the station will enhance deep-space tracking and high-precision Earth monitoring, contributing to more accurate GPS, climate research and earthquake forecasting. While traditional VLBI systems relied on slower measurements and narrower bandwidths, new-generation stations are designed to provide faster, continuous monitoring with unprecedented precision, meeting the demands of modern geodesy and space science.
