China has taken its first three-dimensional Earth-based
radar mapping of the moon with its radar system equipped with
high-definition deep-space active observation facility, located in the
country's southwest Chongqing Municipality.
The radar system, codenamed "China Fuyan," which means "facetted
eye," had completed its first phase of the installation, commissioning and
start-up observation recently.
Different from China's 500-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope
(FAST), which is designed to collect observations of radio signals from space,
the Fuyan will shoot radio signals at celestial bodies so to observe asteroids
and terrestrial planets in the solar system.
