The
Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a unique radio telescope
being planned by an international consortium. Covering frequencies
of 0.15-20 GHz, it will make a revolutionary break with today's
radio telescopes. It will:
- have
a collecting area of one square kilometre, giving it 100 times
the sensitivity of today's best radio telescopes;
- be
the first aperture synthesis telescope with multiple independent
fields of view (up to 100 at one time); and
- integrate
computing hardware and software on a massive scale, in a way that
best captures the benefits of these exponentially developing technologies.
