Callisto to welcome a delegation of Chinese radio astronomers for training on cryogenics


At the end of August 2012,  Callisto will welcome nine visitors from China to their offices in the South of France for a 7 day training course in Cryogenic Low Noise Systems. The Chinese group will be led by Dr Jin Chengjin from the FAST project of the National Astronomical Observatories in Beijing, and will include participants from Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and Yunnan Astronomical Observatory. All are existing or potential users of cryogenic low noise receivers for radio astronomy purposes and will be visiting France to learn from Callisto's extensive experience in the design, manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of cryogenic LNA systems.
