As the world's
largest and most sensitive single-caliber radio telescope, Five-hundred-meter
Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (F.A.S.T) was completed on September 25,
2016. With the support of the National Development and Reform Commission, chief
engineer of the National Astronomical Observatory and the chief engineering
scientist of the project - Dr. Nan Rendong and his leading team research over
20 years to promote and eventually complete the construction of this project.



This project
contains 6,670 primary cables and 2,225 secondary cables. In order to ensure
the safe operation of these cables,
BECOT technical engineers arrived at the scene in Nov. of 2017 together
with the professional wire rope testing equipment. They carried out a full
range of tests on the "FAST" wire ropes and completely finished the
on-site technical training for the project leaders within three days:
preparation, instrument calibration, magnetization, testing, data downloading, data
analysis and so on.



15 kg testing
equipment, 128 meters in height, 6 towers, both inspection and training courses
were completely finished within 3 days. BECOT technicians explained the meaning
of"Chinese speed" with professional technology.



After the
mission finished - the project team of
experts was not only satisfied on the service of BECOT, but also hoping the
further cooperation and assistance from BECOT technical team!
