The Square Kilometre Array {SKA} Project is an international project under which the world's largest radio telescope is being built by installing several telescopes over an area of one square kilometer ie 1 million square meters. Thousands of dishes and a million low-frequency antennas will eventually be installed in the Square Kilometre Array. The design of the Square Kilometre Array is designed so that the image resolution it receives will be much higher than the Hubble Space Telescope. It will be the largest ever telescope to capture a vast area of sky. Ten member countries are cooperating in the Square Kilometre Array project. Apart from this, 100 organization's from around 20 countries are also participating in the design and construction of the Square Kilometre Array. It includes India.
