"China Unveils Breakthrough Radar Network for Global Space Weather Forecasting"

China has unveiled a new radar system for forecasting space weather, claiming significant technological breakthroughs. The system, part of the second phase of China's Meridian Project, consists of high-frequency radars in Jilin, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, and can detect ionospheric irregularities over a vast area. This technology aims to enhance long-distance radio communication and monitor space weather disturbances that could affect satellites and spacecraft. China plans to integrate this system with the international SuperDARN network, although the timeline for data sharing remains unclear.
