SKA? The acronym stands for the largest radio telescope ever imagined. This international project of low and medium frequency radio telescopes plans to build with a collector area of one square kilometer.
Last month, the SKA Meeting on “Low energy cryogenic solutions for SKA” was hosted at Callisto premises in Villefranche de Lauragais (close to Toulouse) on March 7, 2017 with the support of the SKA France coordination.
Callisto recently carried out a study on the cryogenics options for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Organization, which aims to develop the largest radio telescope in the World (see www.skatelescope.org) in order to study a wide range of scientific phenomena, including many related to the origins and early development of the Universe.
