‘Eye’ into space from Jelebu

PETALING JAYA: The construction of Malaysia’s largest radio telescope is in progress in Jelebu, Negri Sembilan.

Universiti Malaya Faculty of Science ’s Prof Zamri Zainal Abidin said the VGOS radio telescope was expected to be operational by the end of next year.“It is actually a parabolic antenna and will be the largest – at 13m in diameter – to be used for astronomy research in Malaysia,” he said in an interview.Radio interferometry refers to telescopes joined together in a big network to create one big telescope.

“This ties in with Thrust Five of the National Space Policy 2030, which is the internationalisation of space-related research and technology,” he added. The university, he said, planned to collaborate with other countries such as Japan and China, and join their radio telescopes to conduct radio interferometry.

“It will allow some people to study blackholes, how galaxies evolve, how stars look when they are young and when they are dying,” he added.
