R8.8 billion construction funding for massive telescope — how South Africa will benefit
Infrastructure work at the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope site in South Africa's Karoo is set to begin in 2022, and could see South African builders land substantial contracts.
Only six months after construction activities began at the SKA sites, the SKA Observatory (SKAO) has signed more than two dozen major contracts. This will continue to build momentum, the organisation said.
