Ghanaians have begun training on how to operate and maintain radio telescopes, ahead of the deployment of telescopes in their country as part of the Square Kilometre Array project, which will allow scientists to probe the depths of space.
Press Release from SKA Africa:
Seven Ghanaians arrived in South Africa last week to begin training on the independent operation and maintenance of radio telescopes in Africa. Using a miniature version of a radio telecsope, they will learn how to design, build, operate and maintain an African telescope network that will support the scientific and technical activities of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The training will give them technical skills that are widely applicable, even outside radio astronomy.
