La progettazione di SKA è stato un processo durato molti anni. Quello che è già stato ottenuto e i risultati che verranno in futuro rendono il network di radiotelescopi di SKA davvero eccezionale.

Lo scopo delle attività di progettazione è stato quello di preparare gli elementi base per procedere alla costruzione della Fase 1 del telescopio (SKA1). I diversi consorzi hanno riunito esperti provenienti da tutto il mondo e sono stati formati per lavorare su questi “pacchetti di lavoro”: si tratta di una vasta gamma di applicazioni industriali, ingegneristiche e scientifiche a cui stanno lavorando organizzazioni da tutto il mondo, che copriranno tutti i componenti necessari per rendere la SKA una realtà.

Il design della fase SKA1 è ora ampiamente impostato, dopo molti mesi di lavoro. Il tetto di costo per l’intero progetto è stato fissato a 650.000.000 €. Dopo il completamento della fase di preliminary design reviews, i team di ingegneri di tutto il mondo si uniranno per lavorare alla fase finale del progetto prima dell’inizio della costruzione.

Maggiori informazioni sui consorzi che lavorano ai diversi sotto-progetti di SKA si possono trovare in questa sezione del sito, cliccando sui link:
