ASKAP wins national innovation award

CSIRO’s Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope has taken home the overall prize in the Australian Innovation Challenge Awards, with judges recognising the telescope as “one of those advances that keeps Australia on the global innovation map”.

During the awards ceremony last night at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, ASKAP was pronounced not only the winner of the Manufacturing, Construction and Infrastructure category, but also the overall winner of the national awards.
