The ASKAP Science Case Memo Series is a collection of historical documents that outline the development of science case proposals for the ASKAP telescope, which grew from ‘NTD’ (New Technology Demonstrator) into the concept of ‘xNTD’, then to ‘MIRA’ and ‘MIRANdA’. The name ASKAP was coined in 2007.
