The SKA-Low Telescope consists of 512 field stations, each station consisting of 256 antennas. Antennas are located within the telescope site based in a central area known as ‘the core’ and connecting ‘spiral arms’, with a maximum distance between these arms of 74km.
The SKAO will appoint a contractor to assemble and deploy 199 antenna field stations (50,944 individual antennas) from a semi-permanent, centralised on-site warehouse facility and deploy antennas by clipping on to steel mesh within the core and specific areas located nearby.
