SKA Ontwerp
Gedurende de afgelopen jaren is gewerkt aan het ontwerp voor de SKA-telescoop. De deelnemende instituten werken allemaal aan ontwerpstudies om van de SKA een uitzonderlijk instrument te maken. In het begin van 2013 bracht de SKA Organisatie een Baseline Design document uit en een paar maanden later, halverwege 2013, volgde een Request for Proposals. Hiermee werden onderzoeksorganisaties en bedrijfsleven uitgenodigd uit om deel te nemen aan het definitieve gedetailleerde ontwerp voor de SKA-telescoop.
De ontwerpactiviteiten hadden tot doel het SKA-project te brengen op het niveau waarop met de constructie van de verschillende elementen waaruit de telescoop bestaat gestart kan worden. Consortia met experts van over de hele wereld werden opgezet om met deze werkpakketten aan de slag te gaan en de SKA Organisatie staat nu in contact met vele industriële, technologische en wetenschappelijke organisaties in de hele wereld die de componenten voor de SKA zullen ontwerpen. Details van de werkpakketten en de consortia die het werk verrichten, zijn te vinden door op onderstaande links te klikken (informatie in Engels).
- Assembly, Integration and Verification (AIV)
- Central Signal Processor (CSP)
- Dish (DSH)
- Infrastructure Australia and Africa (INFRA AU/INFRA SA)
- Low-Frequency Aperture Array (LFAA)
- Mid-Frequency Aperture Array (MFAA)
- Signal and Data Transport (SaDT)
- Science Data Processor (SDP)
- Telescope Manager (TM)
- Wideband Single Pixel Feeds (WBSPF)
De lijst met partners is te zien op de kaart. Door in te zoomen en op elk van de partnerorganisaties te klikken, is te zien aan welk deel/ welke delen van de SKA-puzzel zij werken, alsmede hun achtergrond. De subsecties in dit deel van de website vouwen uit naar verschillende ‘kern’ onderdelen van het SKA-ontwerp en bespreken tevens de individuele partners in meer detail.
