Observatory: Primeval Structure Telescope (PaST), also called 21 Centimetre Array (21CMA)

"PaST will consist an array of some10,160 2-meter log periodic antennas spread over several square kilometers. It will capture a detailed radio image of the sky in the range of fifty to two-hundred megahertz. The telescope is built on the high plateau of Ulastai in the west of Xinjiang province, a remote area away from most television and radios signals that may interfere the weak 21 cm background signals." - from wikipedia
