Square Kilometre Array (SKA)-related training marks the start of a programme to strengthen African technical capability

Seven Ghanaians arrived in South Africa last week to begin training on the independent operation and maintenance of radio telescopes in Africa. Using a miniature version of a radio telescope, they will learn how to design, build, operate and maintain an African telescope network that will support the scientific and technical activities of the SKA. The training will give them technical skills that are widely applicable, even outside radio astronomy.
