Alongside NASA, it plans to safeguard humanity against hazardous asteroids.
The country's officials and scientists say it will help it to safeguard humanity against space rocks, alongside other similar programs like NASA's DART mission.
The facility, designed to detect near-Earth asteroids that may be a threat to humanity, will be built in the country's China Fuyan: China's new planetary defense facility The observation facility will reportedly feature more than 20 antennas, each of which will have a diameter of between 25 and 30 meters. These will work simultaneously to carry out high-definition observations of asteroids within 150 million kilometers of Earth.
Fuyan's construction will begin with four 16-meter-diameter radars designed to verify the feasibility of the facility. If all goes as planned, they will increase the number of antennae to more than 20, creating a high-definition distributed radar system. According to the report, it will be the first deep-space radar with the capability to carry out 3D imaging and dynamic monitoring as well as active observation of space objects throughout the inner solar system.
