Northern Cape PSDF Volume 2 F.1.6.1 SOUTHERN AFRICAN LARGE TELESCOPE (SALT) Office of the Premier & Department of Rural Development & Land Reform 134 December 2011 Sutherland is home to the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) which has a hexagonal mirror array that measures 11m across. This is the largest facility of its type in the southern hemisphere and one of the top 10 facilities in the world. SALT is an international collaboration that includes scientists and academics in Germany, India, Poland, the UK and the USA. It allows astronomers to examine the scale and age of the universe, the life and death of stars and the earliest galaxies. The site was established in the early 1970s at an altitude of 1 759m and the night skies are among the world’s clearest and darkest. Furthermore, the weather conditions are good and stable which enhances its viewing opportunities (Northern Cape Business 2011/2012). The SALT facility is operated under contract to the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO). According to the LED Strategy, this technological breakthrough can produce significant new tourism opportunities in the Namaqua district and the province as a whole. These opportunities include star‐gazing tours, research opportunities, etc. Furthermore, the value of SALT to the disciplines of astronomy and astrophysics is immense and could ensure a constant stream of international scientists, visitors, and travellers. F.1.6.2 SQUARE KILOMETRE ARRAY (SKA) Currently, South Africa is bidding against Australia to host a R14.5 billion radio telescope on a huge site near Carnarvon in the Pixely ka Seme District. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope will be world’s most sophisticated telescope and the decision about whether this new telescope will be located in the Northern Cape is to be taken in 2012. The size and scope of the project means that winning the bid will have significant economic implications for the province. The speed of the computers that will operate at SKA will be extremely fast – SKA is expected to collect more data in one week than humankind has collected in its entire history, and mankind will have its first clear pictures of what the universe looked like 13.7 billion years ago (Northern Cape Business 2011/2012). In 2007, the Karoo Radio Astronomy Reserve was established under the Astronomy Geographic Act 21 of 2007. This world‐leading piece of South African legislation designed to preserve the scientific integrity of the reserve. The Act ensures the preservation and protection of areas within South Africa that are uniquely suited to ground‐based astronomy. An area of 12.5 million hectares around the proposed core of SKA will be protected as a radio‐astronomy reserve with strict regulations controlling the generation and transmission of interfering radio signals in the reserve and the area around it (refer to Map F.2 below). The intention is to locate the SKA core near Carnarvon with outlying stations in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia. Added together, the combined collecting area of these antennas will be roughly one square kilometre. The antennas would be connected via a super‐fast data communications network to an extremely large and powerful computer in the Northern Cape, and the telescope would be controlled and operated remotely from Cape Town, where the operations and science centre would be located. The SKA will be one of the largest scientific research facilities in the world and, if awarded to South Africa, would Dennis Moss Partnership
Northern Cape PSDF Volume 2 http://www.ska.ac.za/download/fact_sheet_skasite_2011.pdf Office of the Premier & 135 Department of Rural Development & Land Reform December 2011 consolidate the southern African region as a major international hub for astronomy and cutting‐ edge technology 64 . Map F.2: Astronomy Reserve in the Northern Cape with the core site of SKA (Source: SKA Africa, www.ska.ac.za) The location of the candidate core site in the Karoo was chosen because of the following attributes (SKA Africa Brochure, 2011) 65 : a) The radio frequency interference (RFI) environment is intrinsically quiet because of the remoteness of the site and the shielding effect of the flat‐topped hills surrounding the area. b) The area is far from centres of economic activity and has a very low and decreasing rural population. c) The climate is benign with no extreme weather conditions (e.g. high winds or extreme diurnal temperature variations). d) The site is at a 1 000 metre elevation with a flat topography. e) The water vapour content in the troposphere is low. f) Despite being remote, the area is well‐served with essential infrastructure, including all‐ weather roads and national grid electrical power, and is easily accessible from major settlements. g) Required land, labour and services available and very affordable. 64 http://www.dst.gov.za/other/ska ‐ accessed on 15 September 2011. 65 SKA Africa Brochure, 2011: An outstanding and affordable site for the SKA: Fact Sheet 4.
