Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
New developments in all fields of astronomy have brought the current generation of astronomers to the brink of probing the origin and evolution of the Universe as a whole. Planning for the next generation of facilities leads to the conclusion that a revolutionary new instrument at radio wavelengths is needed, one with an effective collecting area more than 30 times greater than the largest telescope ever built. Such a telescope will reveal the dawn of galaxy formation, as well as a plethora of other new discoveries in all fields of astronomy.
Vigorous technological developments in computing and radio frequency devices make it possible for such a telescope to be built within the next decade, and the international radio astronomical community is proposing that such a telescope, with a million square metres of collecting area, be the next major radio telescope to be built. The project has acquired the appellation, the Square Kilometre Array.
