SKA Organisation

The SKA Organisation is the legal entity created to design, develop and operate the the Square Kilometre Array (SKA project).

Since 2008, the global radio astronomy community has been engaged in the development of the SKA as a major part of the 'Preparatory' phase of the project. The Preparatory phase ended in December 2011 and, following a number of major changes, the international SKA project has now progressed to the 'Pre-Construction' phase (2012-15) with the establishment of a new legal entity, the SKA Organisation, on 14 December 2011. The SKA Organisation will be based in the Alan Turing Building, The University of Manchester until October 2012, at which time it will move to a purpose-built building at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, UK.
