Scientific paper

The Square Kilometre Array is intended to be the next-generation radio wavelength observatory. With a Key Science program addressing fundamental physics, astronomy, and astrobiology, the SKA will have a collecting area of up to one million square metres spread over at least 3000 km, providing a sensitivity 50 times higher than the Expanded Very Large Array, and an instantaneous field of view (FoV) of at least several tens of square degrees and possibly 250 square degrees. In this paper, we describe the main features of the SKA, paying attention to the design activities around the world, and outline plans for the final design and phased implementation of the telescope.
