Two telescopes are under construction, one in South Africa and one in Australia.
These installations will combine the signals received from thousands of small antennae spread over a distance of several thousand kilometres to simulate a single giant radio telescope capable of extremely high sensitivity and angular resolution, using a technique called aperture synthesis. Some of the sub-arrays of the SKA will also have a very large field-of-view (FOV), making it possible to survey very large areas of sky at once.
#SKAjobs The SKA-Mid telescope team is growing! Our partner @SKA_Africa has exciting opportunities for four Senior Telescope Maintenance Engineers to join the team in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦.
Apply by 10 December:
