  6. This is a big job..... • Meetings, Telecoms with schedules produced • A draft is in progress: on the Wiki • Some contributions from the various authors have been received • A draft was planned to be circulated at the Conference • We are running late..... It must be produced before end of Year

  7. Science Requirements.... The Design Reference mission http://www.skatelescope.org/PDF/091001_DRM_v0.4.pdf

Infrastructure: Cover membrane Steels for Antenna Support Structure Cable Support Poles Velcro Cable Ties Foundations: building poles Civil Engineering Cooling Power Supplies Racking Trenches Infrastructure Build – 3 man years Bunkers ~€1.5M each array, NPV Analogue Data Transport: Connection to PCBs = no. of cables Preparation of cables Cable - total length reqd per station Male plugs PCB Outlet plugs (i.e. PCB inputs to first processor) Install cables in field ~€11 each element, 2011

  16. Scenarios planning SKADS PrepSKA Phase 1 Phase 2 A major input to the Concept Design Reviews: CoDR

  17. The messages are: • AAs can be achieved at acceptable cost and power for the SKA • AAs can be tailored to meet SKA science requirements <1.4GHz • AAs make the SKA central processing tractable & affordable • There is a solid basis of engineering for AA development • AAs are capable of achieving SKA performance requirements An SKA scenario including AAs is the only way of meeting the science goals
