Construction begins today on SKA-Low.
The SKA telescopes will initially comprise 131,072 antennas in Australia (this will form the SKA-Low), which will be built at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Country in Western Australia, and 197 dishes in South Africa (known as the SKA-Mid), to be built in the Karoo in South Africa.
