Provides evidence of to an environmentally responsibility approach to Shell’s commitment shale gas exploration Provides guidance at a broad planning scale for the feasibility of underwater exploitation (BRACKISH/SALINE GROUNDWATER CAN BE USED BY Shell, i.e. non-competing wit local use) 2.6 SQUARE KILOMETRE ARRAY (SKA) The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Telescope is an international initiative by the International Square Kilometre Array Committee. The committee established their fourth site in the Kareeberg municipal area. SKA pushes technology and science boundaries. Flagship mega-projects attract young people into science, technology and engineering and keep them there. MeerKAT is already developing – a critical mass of young people with very high-level skills in next generation generic technologies already playing a leading role in very high-powered SKA consortium. SKA will greatly – strengthen that and will attract leading scientists and engineers to SA and to work with SA world’s researchers, universities and companies. Over time, technology spin-offs many examples – The local benefits of the project are: SKA infrastructure Creation of local jobs Increase in hospitality and tourism opportunities Entrepreneurship Business development Education and training MEERKAT RADIO TELESCOPE The minister of Science aand Technology launched the first pahse of the completed Meerkat telescope which forms part of the SKA, the biggest of kind in the world. it’s KAT 7 was the engineering prototype for the design of MeerKAT. MeerKAT dish design changed from 12m centre fed dish to Offset Gregorian dish.It consist of 64 dishes and will be incorporated into SKAP1 (250 dish array) This phase of the project includes the design and delivery of the dish & its subsystems and the associated infrastructure.
