the Obama administration could announce its dual-use technology as a kind
Hong Kong’s National Astronomical Observatories of China this month will go to a scientist known as the The ground elevation of 4,000 meters, is one of the highest elevation of the Antarctic region. Chinese scientists will be there to install a telescope system, its accuracy and sensitivity will depend on a number of devices designed for the U.S. Navy.
National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Antarctic researchers Qiang project team is also involved in the design of the telescope in Antarctica. He said in a telephone interview, U.S. suppliers of such equipment in the fight to obtain an export license had encountered some trouble. He said:
Liu Qiang, including mention of this box is equipped with charge-coupled device, including some of the equipment. This device converts light into electronic signals to form a digital image.
Consumer digital cameras generally have the highest 12 million pixels, but the California-based semiconductor technology exports to China partnership will have a charge-coupled device billion pixels, suitable for high-resolution photographs taken of the sky. However, when not used to observe distant galaxies, a sensitive charge-coupled device with this telescope can be used to track, identify and lock hostile nation on earth orbiting satellites.
This equipment is very sensitive, so that Chinese scientists had thought that the National Astronomical Observatory, the Obama administration could announce its dual-use technology as a kind, and thus may refuse to issue export licenses to China.
Semiconductor technology partner Richard. Brett Hall confirmed that the company’s STA1600-type imaging device will be installed in China in the establishment of three telescopes on the Antarctic. According to the company’s Web site, this imager is designed for the design and manufacture of the U.S. Naval Observatory, used to take high-resolution photos. However, Brett Hall said: infrared.
Can detect infrared charge-coupled device can be used for spy satellites, can be used at night, but also civilian and military facilities will be separate. Brett Hauer declined to visible light that can only detect whether the device can be used for military purposes comment.
Prompted the U.S. government agreed to export the device may be another reason for the competition from Europe.
Qiang said, Chinese manufacturers can produce the maximum charge-coupled device with only one fingernail so much, and this telescope is needed is so large as the palm.
Xi’an Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Dr. Zhu Xiangping confirmed that China can not produce STA1600-type imaging device such as the size of the charge-coupled device. Zhuxiang Ping said that allowing the device exports to China are extremely rare. However, he believes that with the further strengthening of Sino-US economic and trade relations, the government will be increasingly difficult to ban the export of dual-use products, the future will have a similar transfer.
For years, Beijing has been urging Washington to relax trade negotiations with China high-tech exports, and that this will help reduce the U.S. trade deficit with China. In 2010, the U.S. trade deficit up to $ 273 billion.
