It is also in a position to optimize the stability and dynamic for the economic purpose, au tomatically diagnose instrument failure, improve safety of control system so as to realize stable, high yield and energy efficient production. Thanks to their painstaking efforts for more than eight years, Ch inese wind tunnel experts have developed an internationally advanced transonic w ind tunnel system of full automatic balancing mechanism. The new system was rec ently applauded for its success at Institute of High Velocity, Air Dynamics Rese arch Base of Chinese People's Liberation Army. Experts briefed that the result has made China's technology of wind tunnel test ing a new breakthrough and earmarked China's position of internationally advanc ed rank in the field. Wind tunnel experiment is of importance to developing and designing space vehicl es such as airplanes, rockets and satellites.
Adaptable balance is a major inst rument measuring air dynamic parameters of flying vehicle models.
As shown by t he testing and verification, Chinese made full automatic balancing system has re ached internationally advanced level in terms of its force direction, working po int and head restoration accuracy. Its application will greatly improve accurac y and efficiency of wind tunnel experiment and accelerate the development of Chi na's space flying machines. The center will support research activities covering nine major fields of macro structure of space, formation and evolution of galax ies, high energy and triggering process of celestial bodies, formation and evolu tion of stars, solar magnetic activities and solar-terrestrial environment, ast ronomical earth dynamics, solar celestial body and manmade celestial body dynami cs, astronomical observation means and space exploration, new space technologies and methods. The center will exercise centralized management of large as tronomical observation equipment of CAS system. The center will set up 35 resear ch groups or teams consisting of excellent observation and theoretical research personnel in CAS who will work under their respective academic leaders.
