The history of the development of Chinese telemetry is introduced in the paper. The new telemetry ground station and the new onboard space telemetry system, with the idea of systematic design and the specification, are described.

A novel method based on ant colony optimization (ACO), algorithm for solving the ill-conditioned linear systems of equations is proposed. ACO is a parallelized bionic optimization algorithm which is inspired from the behavior of real ants. ACO algorithm is first introduced, a kind of positive feedba...
