Description

The Australian SKA Pathfinder is a new-generation radio telescope now under construction at a pristine site in Western Australia, the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO). ASKAP will trial innovative wide-field-of-view technology to achieve the fastest survey speed at the key frequency band around 1 GHz. International Science Survey Teams have been organized to plan and development the methods and techniques to achieve an ambitious set of scientific goals. ASKAP will be operational in early 2013.
