Feb 9, 2023 · The world's largest radio telescopes are being built in South Africa and Australia. The Square Kilometer Array's site in Australia will rely on 130,000 Christmas-tree like dipole antennas...
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.

Our role in the SKA project builds on decades of Australian ingenuity that places us among the best in the world in developing technologies for radio astronomy and operating national facilities for the benefit of scientific and broader communities. As well as playing the major role of developing the site for the SKA-Low telescope in Australia, we'v...
The SKA-Low telescope has a relatively light impact on the land and there is great deal of flexibility in positioning SKA infrastructure, which means significant heritage sites can be avoided. CSIRO and our SKA project partners recognise the Wajarri Yamaji as the Traditional Owners and native title holders of the site and have been proactive in pro...
The SKA telescopes will generate data on the scale of petabits, or a million billion bits, per second – more than the global internet rate today. We're building supercomputers to process the enormous amounts of data. Initially, the data from the SKA-Low antennas in Western Australia will flow into a custom supercomputing facility on site in the Mur...
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.

The Square Kilometre Array, or SKA will be the largest and most sensitive radio telescope on Earth. Two complementary radio telescopes, located in Western Australia and South Africa, will use different types of antennas to ‘tune in’ radio frequencies.
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...
