The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is an intergovernmental international radio telescope project being built in Australia (low-frequency) and South Africa (mid-frequency). The combining infrastructure, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), and headquarters, are located at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in the United Kingdom.
Feb 9, 2023 · The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will deliver the next generation of radio telescopes — vast arrays of radio dishes and antennas spanning two continents.
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a multi-billion dollar international project to build the world’s largest radio telescope. Co-located primarily in South Africa and Western Australia, the SKA will be a collection of hundreds of thousands of radio antennas with a combined collecting area equivalent to approximately one million square metres ...
We are building the two largest radio telescope arrays in the world, located in Australia and South Africa, supported by institutions and facilities around the globe.
Feb 4, 2021 · The first council meeting of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory has actioned plans that will lead to the biggest telescope on Earth being assembled over the coming decade.
The Square Kilometre Array is the world's biggest radio telescope, to be built in South Africa and Western Australia over the coming decade. By measuring neutral hydrogen over cosmic time, accurately timing the signals from pulsars in the Milky Way, and detecting millions of galaxies out to high redshifts, it will address some of the biggest ...
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a next-generation radio telescope that will ultimately have a square kilometre of collecting area, making it the most sensitive radio telescope in the world. The project to design and build the SKA is an international collaboration, involving 15 countries.
Dec 5, 2022 · The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the largest radio telescope in the world when completed in 2028. Split across South Africa and Australia, with a headquarters in the UK, the facility will...
The Square Kilometre Array is the world's biggest international project in radio astronomy. Phase 1 will consist of two separate arrays of antennas: 197 large dish antennas in the Karoo desert in South Africa, and over 131,000 low-frequency wire antennas (each like a large TV antenna), in the desert of Western Australia.
May 30, 2011 · We review the current status of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) by outlining the science drivers for its Phase-1 (SKA1) and setting out the timeline for the key decisions and milestones on the way to the planned start of its construction in 2016.
