Kenya will host one of the eight satellite dishes that will power the launch of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which is poised to be the world’s largest intergovernmental international radio telescope project.

Currently under construction in Australia and South Africa, the SKA will drive technological development, particularly in information and communications technology. Spin-off innovations in this area will benefit other systems that process large volumes of data from geographically dispersed sources.
