Observational capabilities in astronomy continue to make great advances across the electromagnetic spectrum. The first truly global facility for radio astronomy will be the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), an international $2.5 billion project scheduled for deployment between 2015 and 2020, for which the proposed Australian site has been short-listed. The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a next generation radio telescope that is on the strategic pathway towards the staged development and deployment of the SKA. By refining the ASKAP technology and enabling its scientific success we address the national strategic goal of ensuring Australia's technological and scientific readiness for the SKA.

天文学的观测能力继续在整个电磁频谱上取得巨大进展。第一个真正的全球射电天文学设施将是平方公里阵列（SKA），这是一个计划在2015年至2020年期间部署的25亿美元的国际项目，拟议的澳大利亚站点已被列入入围名单。澳大利亚SKA探路者（ASKAP）是下一代射电望远镜，正处于SKA分阶段开发和部署的战略途径上。通过改进ASKAP技术并使其在科学上取得成功，我们实现了确保澳大利亚为SKA做好技术和科学准备的国家战略目标。
