What’s happening now?
Between now and January 2012:
-> The SPDO will become the (legal) SKA Project Office (SPO)
• Interim Director-General (Michiel van Haarlem ex-ASTRON)
• SPO has management & system authority for the whole project
• SPO will oversee the global effort – largely via Work Package
Consortia (i.e. Participating Organisations + Industry)
• The baseline plan for the Pre-construction phase is the PEP (2012 –
end 2015 -> ready to build)
• Funding for the PEP is essentially ‘national’ – with some contracts
possibly emanating from the SPO
SKA Ltd
Goals of the Pre-Construction Phase
Jan 2012 – Dec 2015
1.
Get the SKA design to Production Readiness Review stage and let
contracts for construction of major sub-systems
2.
Progress infrastructure roll-out on the selected site to allow subsystems to be deployed
3.
Mature the SKA legal entity into an organisation capable of carrying
out the construction, verification, and operation of the telescope
Preconstruction phase; build on work in PrepSKA and Precursors
Phase end = ‘ready to build’ the SKA
