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 Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX) is an interferometric array of 1024 6-meter (20ft) diameter radio telescopes, operating at 400-800MHz, that will be deployed at the Square Kilometer Array site in the Karoo region of South Africa. The array is designed to measure red-shifted 21-cm hydrogen line emission on large ...
The South African array is aimed toward realizing our primary science objective: detecting reionization. The instrument is located at the P2 site on the Square Kilometre Array South Africa (SKA-SA) in the Meerkat National Park near the small town of Carnarvon. Deployments at the SKA-South Africa site in the Karoo desert began with ground ...
Construction has begun on the world's largest radio astronomy observatory, known as the Square Kilometre Array.
In addition to hosting the Square Kilometre Array and other astronomical research projects, the National Research Foundation's South African Environmental Observation Network will seek to study large-scale management and long-term environmental research of the area, and the impact of climate change on the local ecosystem.
Square Kilometer Array (SKA-Phase2) Australia, South Africa 0.05–30 GHz Extension of SKA-Phase to approximately 2000 dishes. This array, if built, would be 50 times more sensitive and 10,000 times faster than any other radio telescope. Hongmeng Project (DSL) lunar orbit 0.1-30 MHz imaging, 0.1-120 MHz global spectrum
MeerKAT, originally the Karoo Array Telescope, is a radio telescope consisting of 64 antennas in the Meerkat National Park, in the Northern Cape of South Africa. In 2003, South Africa submitted an expression of interest to host the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Radio Telescope in Africa, and the locally designed and built MeerKAT was incorporated into the first phase of the SKA.
The MeerKAT radio telescope array is under construction in the Meerkat National Park around 90 km from Carnarvon. [8] The core of the Square Kilometre Array will also be constructed on the same site.
