US EditionChina and Brazil Open Space Lab as US Urges Nations to Halt Projects
China and Brazil's joint lab supports the BINGO radio telescope project, advancing space research and satellite tracking amid U.S. concerns over potential surveillance uses.
- On Dec 10, China and Brazil announced the creation of a joint laboratory for space technologies, with China Electronic Technology Group Corporation and Brazilian universities advancing a major telescope project, Reuters reported.
- Amid a long-term push by Beijing to expand influence through space cooperation, China’s state-supported space and commercial programs rapidly deploy capabilities, installing telescopes and training personnel across Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
- CETC said the BINGO telescope's main structure was completed in June and shipped from the port of Tianjin to Brazil; the instrument, billed as South America's largest radio telescope, is scheduled for completion in 2026 and can track satellites and small bodies.
- Congressional scrutiny has coincided with U.S. efforts to press Latin American partners to limit ties with Chinese projects, freezing two telescope projects in Chile and Argentina since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
- Reports say Chinese commercial space programs pressure U.S. commercial satellite firms with lower prices, prompting the U.S. executive order on commercial space competition to accelerate development.
