  • A cover story on the progress of infrastructure construction at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, the home of ASKAP
  • An overview of the path to ASKAP commissioning
  • Reports on testing innovative phased array feeds for ASKAP, science commissioning activities, and simulating the data flow from 'BETA' – the first six ASKAP antennas
