A few days ago, 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, and Professor Ma Jing of Harbin Institute of Technology was elected as one of the top ten innovative figures.
"Accumulated monthly cold windows, fruitful and glorious China." He has worked hard for 26 years to create the Information Expressway connecting the heavens and the earth, so that China's Star-Earth laser communication technology ranks among the world's leading positions..." This is the evaluation of Professor Ma Jing in the award speech of the innovative figures of the national defense science and technology industry. In 1991, Professor Ma Jing devoted himself to the research of satellite optical communication, and over the years moved from basic research to engineering research, successfully completed space tests, realized the rapid capture, stable tracking and high-quality communication of satellite-earth laser links, and laid an engineering and technical foundation for the establishment of space laser high-speed real-time information network in China.
The "Satellite-To-Ground Laser Link Communication Experiment" successfully conducted by Professor 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 and 12 units of the Military Industry Group Corporation, and are selected at all levels, reviewed by experts and finally deliberated and evaluated.
