Intelligent Space-Based Radio Telescope and Communication System

In order to improve the resolution and sensitivity of present radio telescopes, an advanced system based on the distributed cooperative control is proposed here. As a space-based communication station, the system deployed in GEO is consisted of a feed source satellite, a central satellite and 4450 unit satellites in the form of precise and independent assembling. The central satellite can manage the system and diagnose the dysfunctions automatically, therefore keep the entire satellite group running correctly. Without the interference from atmosphere, cloud and ground electromagnetic wave, the system proposed can raise the quality of resolution and sensitivity by 1-2 order and greatly improve the available distance of deep-space detection and the rate of data communication.
