Academy of Sciences, will help advance the construction and operation of the future SKA regional center, said An Tao, head of the SKA group of the SHAO.
The SKA will be the largest and most advanced radio telescope ever built. It will combine signals received via thousands of small antennae spreading over 3,000 km to simulate a single giant radio telescope with a total collecting area of approximately 1 square km.
The antennae will be installed in the southern hemisphere with the core stations located in Western Australia and South Africa, offering the best view of the Milky Way and the least radio frequency interference.
The SKA will be able to detect faint radio waves from deep space with its sensitivity about 50 times higher than any other existing radio instrument ever developed.
The construction of the SKA is planned to start next year, and China, one of the founding members, is investigating the China regional center scheme, which will offer a platform for multi-disciplinary scientific research, in-depth data processing, long-term storage and advanced technique development, An said.
