The SKA web site [www.ska.ac.za] has been redesigned to improve speed and give the site a fresh new 'look' and additional content. The site has also proved very popular both locally and internationally with increasing monthly visits and reciprocal links to the site. The top performing areas of the site, apart from the homepage and SKA pages, are the newsletter and the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT) sections.

Additional areas to the site have been launched to ensure that it continues to add value to the SKA community. Be sure to visit and view our KAT animation, find out who is involved in the SKA and KAT projects in our Who's who directory, and read more about the SKA key science projects and timeline. Our Education Zone offers easy to understand information about radioastronomy for learners as well as a section to download related educational resources.

Other valuable sources of online information include easy access to the latest news in our SKA South Africa - MeerKAT Update newsletter and downloadable online resources including bid documents.
