The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the most complex scientific instruments ever built. It will, when fully deployed, consist of an array of ~4000 dishes, with a novel flat panel aperture array component capable of all-sky imaging, and work in the frequency range 70MHz to ~25GHz. The array will be supported by an IT infrastructure designed to handle data rates comparable to the current internet traffic of the Earth.
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will probe the gaseous component of the early Universe, thereby addressing fundamental questions in research on the origin and evolution of the Universe.
The UK community, led by the Universities of Manchester, Oxford and Cambridge, together with UK industry are fully engaged in the development of the project, supported by resources from STFC and the EU.

Australia and Southern Africa have been short listed as possible hosts of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) - the international radio telescope for the 21st Century. The final decision is expected to be announced in 2012.
The SKA will be a revolutionary, next-generation radio telescope, capable of transformational science and will address fundamental questions in physics and cosmology.
This telescope will digitally combine signals from several thousand 12m diameter antennas with a collecting area of around one million square metres and will also provide the sharpest pictures of the sky of any telescope.

A few years ago Adrian Tiplady was busy trying to forge a career as a jazz musician when he got a phone call saying that the world's scientific community had proposed to build one of the most technologically advanced science facilities in history, and would he care to assist in putting together a South African bid to host it? But why would a relatively minor country like South Africa have the audacity to submit such a bid? And why would the world want to host such an important facility in Africa? Most importantly, can South Africa muster the competency, expertise and skills to not only host, but also design and build the Square Kilometre Array?
Adrian Tiplady's eclectic skills set was essential to South Africa's successful bid to host the SKA. A gifted saxophonist with a PhD in Physics, Adrian prepared a 27 000 page scientific proposal for consideration by world experts, while simultaneously negotiating a complex stakeholder minefield.

UNSW Physics presents "Public Talks" with Dr Lisa Harvey-Smith and her talk "Square Kilometre Array - From Black Holes to Dark Matter" - Friday, 27 March 2015
Summary:
Exploring the Universe with the Square Kilometre Array
What is Dark Matter? How did the solar system form? Was Einstein right about the nature of gravity? Are we alone in the universe?
To tackle these fascinating questions and more, an international consortium of eleven countries is currently designing the 'Square Kilometre Array’ (SKA) telescope. Comprising thousands of radio receivers located in Africa and Australia, the SKA will be the world’s most powerful radio telescope. It will revolutionise our understanding of the universe, from the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang to the formation of planet Earth.
In this talk, CSIRO astronomer Dr. Lisa Harvey-Smith will explain the science and technology behind the SKA and describe many fascinating science programs that the SKA will tackle.

Dr. Lisa Harvey-Smith is a research scientist at CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division. She is also the ASKAP Project Scientist at CSIRO. http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/Lisa.Harvey-Smith/index.html

The SKA will be a revolutionary radio telescope made of thousands of receivers linked together. The total collecting area of all the receivers combined will be approximately one square kilometre, making the SKA the largest and most sensitive radio telescope ever built. The actual area of the SKA will far exceed a square kilometre - with receivers extending more than 3,000 km from a central core region, across the whole of Australia New Zealand or Southern Africa.

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a radio telescope in development which will have a total collecting area of approximately one square kilometre. It will operate over a wide range of frequencies and its size will make it 50 times more sensitive than any other radio instrument. It will require very high performance central computing engines and long-haul links with a capacity greater than the current global Internet traffic. It will be able to survey the sky more than ten thousand times faster than ever before.
With receiving stations extending out to distance of at least 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) from a concentrated central core, it will continue radio astronomy's tradition of providing the highest resolution images in all astronomy. The SKA will be built in the southern hemisphere, in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, where the view of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is best and radio interference least.
With a budget of €1.5 billion, construction of the SKA is scheduled to begin in 2016 for initial observations by 2019 and full operation by 2024. The project has its headquarters in Manchester, UK.

Square kilometer, symbol km2, is a decimal multiple of the SI unit of surface area, the square metre, one of the SI derived units. 1 km2 is equal to:

A few years ago Adrian Tiplady was busy trying to forge a career as a jazz musician when he got a phone call saying that the world's scientific community had proposed to build one of the most technologically advanced science facilities in history, and would he care to assist in putting together a South African bid to host it? But why would a relatively minor country like South Africa have the audacity to submit such a bid? And why would the world want to host such an important facility in Africa? Most importantly, can South Africa muster the competency, expertise and skills to not only host, but also design and build the Square Kilometre Array?
Adrian Tiplady's eclectic skills set was essential to South Africa's successful bid to host the SKA. A gifted saxophonist with a PhD in Physics, Adrian prepared a 27 000 page scientific proposal for consideration by world experts, while simultaneously negotiating a complex stakeholder minefield.

UNSW Physics presents "Public Talks" with Dr Lisa Harvey-Smith and her talk "Square Kilometre Array - From Black Holes to Dark Matter" - Friday, 27 March 2015
Summary:
Exploring the Universe with the Square Kilometre Array
What is Dark Matter? How did the solar system form? Was Einstein right about the nature of gravity? Are we alone in the universe?
To tackle these fascinating questions and more, an international consortium of eleven countries is currently designing the 'Square Kilometre Array’ (SKA) telescope. Comprising thousands of radio receivers located in Africa and Australia, the SKA will be the world’s most powerful radio telescope. It will revolutionise our understanding of the universe, from the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang to the formation of planet Earth.
In this talk, CSIRO astronomer Dr. Lisa Harvey-Smith will explain the science and technology behind the SKA and describe many fascinating science programs that the SKA will tackle.

The SKA will be a revolutionary radio telescope made of thousands of receivers linked together. The total collecting area of all the receivers combined will be approximately one square kilometre, making the SKA the largest and most sensitive radio telescope ever built. The actual area of the SKA will far exceed a square kilometre - with receivers extending more than 3,000 km from a central core region, across the whole of Australia New Zealand or Southern Africa.
