SKA MFAA frontend review meeting
| Submitter: | Pieter Benthem |
| Description: | On 5 and 6 Nov, the SKA Mid Frequency Aperture Array (MFAA) consortium organised its second face-to-face FrontEnd Workpackage design review meeting (the first was a year ago at ASTRON, as part of the MFAA all-hands meeting). We very much enjoyed our stay at the University of Manchester (the workpackage lead). During the meeting, all three workpackage partners (KLAASA, UMAN, ASTRON) presented their progress, focussing mainly on the antenna and LNA designs. Additional material was presented by University of Cambridge, Observatoire de Nancay and Stellenbosch University. In addition to all the technical fun, which included lively discussions among all engineers present, the SKA Office treated us to their latest view on SKA2 science goals. David Zhang (UMAN), the LOC chair, summarized the meeting with an impressive list of the main achievements: We are keenly looking forward to next year's face-to-face meeting at KLAASA, in China! |
