SA hoor vroeg in 2012 oor teleskoop
Elsabe Brits for Die Burger
Kaapstad - Die proses en tydlyn wat gevolg sal word om ’n terrein vir die SKA-teleskoop te kies, is pas bekend gemaak. Die stigtersraad van die Square Kilometre Array (SKA) het op ’n internasionale vergadering in Banff, Kanada, aangekondig daar is voldoende vordering met die projek gemaak om die verkose terrein teen Februarie 2012 aan te kondig.
Suid-Afrika en Australië ding teen mekaar mee om die teleskoop van €1,5 miljard te huisves. Hulle het tot September vanjaar tyd om al hul inligting oor hul onderskeie projekte en terreine in te handig.
