ASKAP Update Now Available

CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science has released a new publication, ASKAP Update, which replaces ASKAP Science Update and ASKAP Technical Update.

This new publication is a regular series dedicated to conveying the latest news about the ASKAP project to international science and engineering communities. It also provides a deeper look at key aspects of ASKAP's development.

The first issue of ASKAP Update is now available.

This first issue features:

• 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
• A photo story on the construction of the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory Support Facility in Geraldton.
