Professor Ma Jing of HIT was elected as one of the Top Ten Innovative Figures in the National Defense Science and Technology Industry in 2017

Jinbiao News (reporter Gong Yufan) Recently, the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense released the top ten news and top ten innovative figures (teams) of the national defense science and technology industry in 2017. Professor Ma Jing of HIT was elected as one of the Top Ten Innovative Figures in the National Defense Science and Technology Industry in 2017.

In 1986, Ma Jing stayed on as a teacher after graduating from graduate school. In 1988, he went to CERN as a visiting scholar to do research work. Although there will be good room for development abroad, he feels that his career is in China, so he resolutely gave up superior scientific research and living conditions, and returned to HIT in 1990 to become a lecturer in the Department of Physics. Since 1991, Ma Jing and his wife Tan Liying have devoted themselves to the research of satellite optical communications. Satellite laser communication has the advantages of large communication capacity, long transmission distance and good confidentiality, which is an irreplaceable means of building a space information highway and a cutting-edge science and technology in the field of international information.

Over the past 26 years, Ma Jing has adhered to the specifications of HIT, inherited the efforts of HIT, had the courage to bear the burden, moved from basic research to engineering research, successfully completed space tests, realized rapid capture, stable tracking and high-quality communication of star-to-ground laser links, and laid an engineering and technical foundation for the establishment of a space laser high-speed real-time information network in China. The "satellite-to-ground laser link communication test" successfully conducted by Ma Jing's team is an important milestone in the history of the development of China's satellite communication technology, marking that China is at the forefront of the world in the cutting-edge field of space high-speed information transmission. In 2013, the technology was selected as one of the "Top Ten Scientific and Technological Progress of Chinese Colleges and Universities" and won the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award in 2014. In 2016, Ma Jing won the "Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Science and Technology Progress Award". In 2017, the team's high-orbit satellite-ground two-way high-speed laser communication system technology was selected as one of the "Top Ten Scientific and Technological Progress of Chinese Colleges and Universities".

It is reported that the selection activity of the top ten innovative figures (teams) in the national defense science and technology industry has been held for 4 consecutive sessions since 2014. The candidates (teams) are recommended by the relevant departments of the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, 12 military industry group companies, the China Academy of Engineering Physics, the Supporting Units of Minkou, relevant colleges and universities, and the media, and are selected by layer by layer, reviewed by experts, and finally deliberated and evaluated.

"Accumulated monthly cold windows, fruitful and glorious China." He has worked hard for 26 years to create the information superhighway of Liantiantongdi, so that China's star-to-earth laser communication technology ranks among the leading positions in the world, and realizes the eyes of miles and the ears of the wind. Hunger and cold do not know, the stakes are not counted, loyally practice the dream of spaceflight, the revival mission in the heart, he paved the long road. This is the award speech when Professor Ma Jing was elected this year.
