China and Brazil launch joint radio lab for BINGO telescope to study dark energy, amid U.S. concerns.
China and Brazil have launched a joint radio astronomy laboratory to advance the BINGO telescope project, a major step in their space cooperation despite U.S. pressure on Latin American nations to limit ties with China.
The facility, operational by 2026, will study dark energy and cosmic structure while enhancing space situational awareness by tracking satellites and near-Earth objects.
The telescope’s components were built in China and shipped to Brazil, with the project backed by China’s CETC and Brazilian universities.
U.S. officials have raised security concerns over Chinese space initiatives in the region, but China denies any surveillance intent, calling the claims politically driven.
The collaboration reflects China’s broader strategy to expand diplomatic and scientific ties through space technology across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
