- Abstract:
- Our country has achieved great progress in space technologies in recent years, with many areas reaching the world advanced even world leading level. New measuring methods and tools for space applications are needed to keep our leading position. The development of terahertz (THz) technology provides us a new approach, and therefore, the research on space uses of terahertz wave is of great importance. In this paper, we introduce the properties of THz wave, review the applications of THz in the areas of radar, communication, remote sensing and space industry, and give an outlook of THz in space applications. We hope it can accelerate the progress of THz technologies in space areas.
