This makes the SKAO the second intergovernmental organisation dedicated to astronomical research after the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The Convention came into force in December 2020 following its ratification by five signatory states, including the three host countries. Further countries, including India, Sweden and Switzerland, are expected to join in due course. The scale of the telescope represents a giant leap forward, both in terms of technology and computing, allowing scientists to observe and measure the universe in unprecedented detail.Īfter two and a half years of multilateral negotiations led by Italy, the SKAO Convention was signed in Rome in March 2019 by Australia, China, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa and the United Kingdom. This huge scientific project will be directed and overseen from the SKAO’s headquarters in Manchester (UK). The telescope, which is to be located in Australia and South Africa, will have a collecting area of over one square kilometre. In June 2021 the SKAO Council approved the construction of the largest radio telescope in the world. The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) became an intergovernmental organisation in February 2021.
