Connell Wagner to Boost Mega-Telescope Research

Australia's efforts in the Square Kilometre Array telescope project are set to receive a boost, with consulting firm Connell Wagner joining the CSIRO lead consortium.

On Friday 20 December the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding committing its services to CSIRO, a member of the telescope consortium.

The Square Kilometre Array or SKA is a next-generation international radio telescope being planned by organisations from 11 countries, including Australia. Building it will be a 10-year, $A2 billion project.
