Chinese scientists hail space radar breakthrough


A team of Chinese military scientists say they have achieved a breakthrough in laser imaging technology that will allow ground stations to identify and track a target in space with unprecedented accuracy.

The results suggest that the radar, developed by Professor Han Fei at the National University of Defence Technology in Anhui province, can take images of a thumb sized object in near-Earth orbit with a resolution of up to 3 millimetres (0.1 inches).
