SKA Design Reference Mission Report Released

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA)  Design Reference Mission describes a key set of observations and scientific requirements that are required for the SKA to achieve its science goals. As the SKA moves into a more intensive design phase, the impact of technical choices needs to be able to be traced back to the science requirements derived from the science case. The DRM report is available for download from www.skatelescope.org.

The DRM report lays out the technical requirements that New Zealand researchers should consider when deciding whether they can contribute towards the development of the SKA telescope.
