The SKA radio telescope project is building two telescopes, SKA-Low in Australia and SKA-Mid South Africa respectively. Telescope Manager responsible for the observations lifecycle monitoring control of each instrument, being developed by an international consortium. currently design phase, with Preliminary Design Review having been successfully completed, along re-baselining to match scope available budget. This report presents status work, key architectural challenges our approach addressing them.

The SKA Observatory is an international organization whose mandate to build and operate two multi-purpose radio telescope arrays. Low Frequency Telescope array, located in the Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Western Australia, with observing range 50 - 350 MHz, will consist of 131,072 log-periodic antennas organized as 512 stations; maximum distance between stations 65 kilometers. Mid Karoo region, South Africa, MHz 15 GHz, comprise 197 offset-Gregorian dishes....

The roll-out plan for Square Kilometer Array (Phase 1) (SKA1) Mid Frequency Telescope calls five array assemblies which progressively integrate an increasing number of receptors and capabilities. TALON Demonstration Correlator (TDC) is a small correlator / beamformer system to implement the first two SKA1 Beamformer (Mid.CBF). objective TDC design minimize amount hardware required early releases, while maximizing re-use firmware software across all assemblies. based on technology Slice...

The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with eventually over a square kilometer of collecting area. For SKA Phase 1, Australia will host low-frequency instrument more than 500 stations, each containing around 250 individual antennas, whilst South Africa array close 200 dishes. scale represents huge leap forward in both engineering and research development towards building delivering unique instrument, detailed design...
