Multi-nation Square Kilometre Array (SKA) a large multi-radio telescope project feature, architecture and objective

India and South to be participating in the multi-nation Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a large multi-radio telescope project.

The telescope SKA will be a premier radio astronomy facility with stations located in Africa and Australia.

The telescope SKA can be hampered by cloud or poor weather conditions on Earth, radio telescopes, working with signals at a longer wavelength, would work even in cloudy skies.

The telescope SKA is capable of detecting invisible gas and can reveal areas of space that may be obscured by cosmic dust.

The telescope's arsenal of 64 receptors will eventually be integrated into the SKA.

The telescope SKA is expected to have a total of at least 3000 dishes spread across a square kilometer spanning across two continents.

The telescope SKA is expected to be functional in the 2020s.
