MeerKAT

The South African MeerKAT radio telescope, situated 90 km outside the small Northern Cape town of Carnarvon, is a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope and will be integrated into the mid-frequency component of SKA Phase 1.

KAT-7

The seven-dish MeerKAT precursor array, KAT-7, is the world’s first radio telescope array consisting of composite antenna structures.

HERA

HERA is an American, South African and British collaboration to build a telescope capable of making a solid detection of the Epoch Of Reionisation (EOR) red-shifted hydrogen power spectrum signature, as well as conducting initial EOR science and launching this new scientific field of the observational cosmic dawn

PAPER

Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Re-ionisation project. The PAPER project at South Africa’s Karoo astronomy site is a 64-antenna array.
