SA, US radio astronomy agencies extend their technology cooperation
August 12, 2013 Editor 0
The agency responsible for South Africa’s hosting of and contribution to the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope, SKA South Africa (SKA SA), and the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) on Tuesday signed an agreement to extend their cooperation for another five years. (South Africa will house the major part of Phase 1 of the SKA, with the rest being set up in Australia.)
SKA SA is also responsible for the country’s KAT-7 radio telescope array and the MeerKAT radio telescope programme. The NRAO is the US agency responsible for cooperation with the international SKA Organisation, which oversees the SKA programme. (The NRAO is a supporter, but for budgetary reasons not yet a member, of the SKA project.)
