These are some of the mega radio astronomy projects that are ongoing.

TIANLAI - A Dark Energy Radio Observation Experiment

The Tianlai project is an experiment aimed at detecting dark energy by measuring the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) features in the large scale structure power spectrum, which can be used as a standard ruler. See more.

Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope - FAST

"The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST; Chinese: 五百米口径球面射电望远镜), nicknamed Tianyan (天眼, lit. "Heavenly Eye" or "The Eye of Heaven"), is a radio telescope located in the Dawodang depression (大窝凼洼地), a natural basin in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, south west China It consists of a fixed 500 m (1,600 ft) dish constructed in a natural depression in the landscape. It is the world's largest filled-aperture radio telescope,[5] and the second-largest single-dish aperture after the sparsely-filled RATAN-600 in Russia. Continue reading.
