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, 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. In 2012 it was decided that two sites would be used for the telescopes, one at the Murchison site in Australia [11] and the other in South Africa ...
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder ( ASKAP) is a radio telescope array located at Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) 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 Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array ( HERA) is a radio telescope dedicated to observing large scale structure during and prior to the epoch of reionization. HERA is a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursor instrument, intended to observe the early universe and to assist in the design of the full SKA.
Construction has begun on the world's largest radio astronomy observatory, known as the Square Kilometre Array.
The square kilometre ( square kilometer in American spelling; symbol: km2) is a multiple of the square metre, the SI unit of area or surface area . 1 km 2 is equal to: 1,000,000 square metres (m 2) 100 hectares (ha) It is also approximately equal to: 0.3861 square miles [2] 247.1 acres [3] Conversely:
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). The SKA is planned by a collaboration of 20 countries and when completed, is intended to be the most powerful radio telescope ever built.
Murchison Widefield Array. / 26.7033°S 116.671°E / -26.7033; 116.671. The Murchison Widefield Array ( MWA) is a joint project between an international consortium of organisations to construct and operate a low-frequency radio array. 'Widefield' refers to its very large field of view (on the order of 30 degrees across).
