Abstract
With the development of modern science and technology, astronomy has entered the era of data-intensive scientific discovery. Cyber-infrastructure is becoming a crucial part of both key national science projects and daily research in astronomy. In this chapter, cyber-infrastructure requirements and implementation status of five cutting-edge astronomical projects are described, namely the five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST), the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), the MingantU SpEctral Radioheliograph (MUSER), the Chinese–French SVOM mission, and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Furthermore, as a common cyber-infrastructure for astronomy research, a brief overview of Virtual Observatory including its research and development history and current applications is given. Several suggestions are listed in the end of the paper for further development of scientific research cyber-infrastructure.
