| | Zhu Nenghong graduated from Tongji University in 1960 then joined the technical division of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory for designing and constructing the Optical telescope up to now. The present occupation is chief engineer of SHAO. |
During 1991.12 to 1993.12 he joined the VLTI group in ESO to do the beam combiner telescope design work.
He has got some awards like the State science and technology progress prize for 1.56m astrometry telescope 、 the HL HL Prize etc. and has been accepted as a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1995.
The major telescopes he designed are;
1. The dual-rate lunar position camera (1965).
2. A photographic zenith tube(1976).
3. 20cm Maksutov and a Schmidt telescope for solar eclipse (1980).
4. 1.56m astrometry telescope (1990)
5. 1m laser ranging telescope (2009)
6. 1m laser communication telescope (2011)
