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. The SKA science impact will be widely felt in astroparticle physics and cosmology, fundamental physics, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, solar system science and astrobiology. 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.
