Square Kilometre Array Event
Thu 24th Jul 2008
The Square Kilometre Array Telescope (SKA Telescope) is an international project to develop a radio telescope with a resolution 50 times greater than any current instrument and will be capable acquiring data at a rate equivalent to the total global internet traffic of today. This ground breaking global project was originally conceived in the UK and the international project coordination team is based in Manchester.
Although the project is part of the STFC portfolio we are keen to ensure it is well known to UK industry and the KTN network - to maximise the potential opportunities. It is a fascinating project – building the largest sensor network in the world to discover the mysteries of the universe. The SKA team will present on the true scale of this project on the 24th.
Europe is playing a leading role in establishing the overall design. Since 2005 this has been funded under an EC Framework 6 programme - SKA Design Study (SKADS) augmented by multi-national funding to a total of €38M. From mid-2009 the international effort will enter a new phase within the EC Framework Programme 7 "PrepSKA", coordinated by the STFC.
To help industry understand the opportunities in the next phase of the project the Electronics Knowledge Transfer Network has organised a meeting on the 24th July at the Science Museum, London bringing together the UK development team and industry to discuss the project goals and look at potential collaborative projects.

The meeting will run from 10:00 to 15:45 and so there will be time to also visit the Science Museum and its specialist exhibitions - currently "Dan Dare and the growth of Hi Tech Britain".
The challenges faced by the team are extreme but the solutions will have many direct benefits for industry: covering developments in steerable antenna, low noise high frequency electronics, dsp, data processing, thermal management to EMC and RFI. These solutions will be widely applicable to the whole of the Electronics, Data Processing and Digital Communications sectors.
