About FAST

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), located in a karst depression in Guizhou, is the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, with a receiving area equivalent to 30 football fields. It is expected that FAST will maintain its world-class status for the next 20 to 30 years. With its innovation design, FAST has broken the 100-meter engineering limit for telescopes construction and created a new mode to build large radio telescopes.

Scientific Goals

1. Detect neutral hydrogen to the edge of the universe, reconstruct the images of the early universe;

2. Discover pulsar, establish a pulsar timing array, and participate in pulsar navigation
and gravitational wave detection in the future;

3. Join the International Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry Network to obtain hyperfine structures of celestial bodies;

4. Perform high resolution radio spectral survey. Detect weak space signals;

5. Participate in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
