Reaching For The
Stars
South Africa has established itself as a global
hub in multi-wavelength astronomy through
the construction of world-class astronomical
facilities such as the Southern African Large
Telescope (SALT) and the Karoo Array
Telescopes (KAT-7 and MeerKAT), culminating
in the African site selection of the mid-
frequency component (dishes and aperture
arrays) of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA)
in 2012.
