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 XDM, a prototype dish for the MeerKAT radio telescope, was constructed at HartRAO. The XDM dish design was first used in KAT-7, a seven-dish engineering testbed and science instrument in the Meerkat National Park in Carnarvon, Northern Cape. KAT-7, completed in 2012, marked the first stage of MeerKAT development.
KAT-7 is a radio telescope situated in the Meerkat National Park, in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Developed as the precursor engineering test bed to the larger MeerKAT telescope, previously known as Karoo Array Telescope (KAT), it has become a science instrument in its own right. The construction was completed in 2011 and commissioning in ...
Meerkat National Park is a large National Park in the Northern Cape, South Africa, that encompasses the Square Kilometre Array's MeerKAT, PAPER and HERA telescopes. The park only allows visitors on preselect days during the year.
The British television series Meerkat Manor, produced by Oxford Scientific Films, features wild meerkats studied by the staff of the Kalahari Meerkat Project [1] and primarily focused on a group of meerkats called the Whiskers. The show, which aired on Animal Planet, premiered in 2005, and the final episode aired in 2008.
Material from this species has been found at the Elandsfontein fossil site in South Africa. [2] [3] Suricata major was larger than the living meerkat, and appears to be intermediate in form between it and Mungos species.
The Meerkat is the lead vehicle in the Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector VMMD system, [1] which evolved from a system known as Chubby. [2] The first units were delivered in 1998. [3] The system is manufactured by the Rolling Stock Division (RSD) of DCD-Dorbyl, a mechanical engineering conglomerate in South Africa.
