On the 29th, the reporter learned from the Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing University of Technology that the first phase of the deep space exploration radar "China Compound Eye" project in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing was officially launched, which realized deep space exploration using the distributed radar system and took a three-dimensional image of the lunar ring mountain based radar.

Xiang Yin, associate researcher of Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing University of Technology, "The first phase of the 'China Compound Eye' project is mainly to verify the key technologies for the subsequent facility construction. At present, the Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology has preliminarily completed the collaborative observation of the moon by four radars in the first phase, and obtained partial 3D radar images of the moon's front surface, which preliminarily verified the feasibility of the distributed aperture deep space exploration radar technology, and also verified the feasibility of 3D radar imaging of deep space targets represented by the moon."

On this basis, the third phase of the project plans to form a scientific facility consisting of hundreds of radars, with a detection range of 150 million kilometers.
