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 ASKAP radio telescope is a radio telescope array located at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The facility began as a technology demonstrator for the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA), an internationally planned radio telescope which will be ...
The Square Kilometre Array, commonly referred to as SKA, the SKA Project or SKA Programme, is a radio telescope project undertaken by an international working group, beginning in September 1993. [11] In 2012 it was decided that two sites would be used for the telescopes, one at the Murchison site in Australia [ 12 ] and the other in South ...
The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) is a proposal by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts to create an ultra-long-wavelength (hereby wavelengths greater than 10 m – i.e., frequencies below 30 MHz) radio telescope inside a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. Square Kilometer Array (SKA-Phase2) Australia, South Africa 0.05–30 GHz
The Square Kilometre Array headquarters. In April 2011, Jodrell Bank was named as the location of the control centre for the planned Square Kilometre Array, or SKA Project Office (SPO). [51] The SKA is planned by a collaboration of 20 countries and when completed, is intended to be the most powerful radio telescope ever built.
Construction has begun on the world's largest radio astronomy observatory, known as the Square Kilometre Array.
It also served as a technology demonstrator for South Africa's bid to host the Square Kilometre Array. [1] KAT-7 is the first Radio telescope to be built with a composite reflector and uses a stirling pump for 75 K cryogenic cooling. The telescope was built to test various system for the MeerKAT array, from the ROACH correlators designed and ...
An example of a large physically connected radio telescope array is the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, located in Pune, India. The largest array, the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), finished in 2012, is located in western Europe and consists of about 81,000 small antennas in 48 stations distributed over an area several hundreds of kilometers in ...
