![]() The land use agreement intends to maintain Wajarri cultural heritage and protect sacred sites, along with providing the community with job and educational opportunities relating to the project. ![]() “We are Wajarri, we are here and we’re ready to share, so welcome aboard.” “We’re all connected to this country, regardless of where we come from,” she said. Jennylyn Hamlett, Wajarri Yamaji Aboriginal Corporation Chairperson and Minangu Land Committee member said the SKA was an opportunity to share cultural knowledge about the skies with the rest of the world. Importantly, an indigenous land use agreement for the SKA site was signed with traditional owners from the Wajarri Yamaji community. “It will also provide an incredible platform for the nation to show our incredible scientific knowledge and research on the world stage.” “Australia’s membership of the SKA Observatory is not only good for industry today but will inspire generations of Australians to dream big and follow a career in STEM,” he said. ![]() Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic broke ground at the SKA site on Monday, saying the project will let astronomers uncover more about our universe. More than 130,000 Christmas tree-like antennas will make up the low-frequency portion of the SKA which is complimented by a set of 200 mid-frequency dishes in South Africa which will have a combined data collection area of one square kilometre.ĭata from the two sites will be transmitted at a rate of 8Tbps to an observatory in the UK for processing in supercomputers. The use of the Scaled Agile Framework combined with IJI’s industry-leading expertise in training and consultancy have meant that we are proud to stake our flag in some aspects of this momentous project.Construction of Australia’s contribution to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) began this week on the ancestral lands of the Wajarri Yamaji people in WA, marking the first steps of a decades-long project to peer further into space. Needless to say, IJI and our partner, Scaled Agile are extremely pleased to have played a crucial role in ensuring that the leaders, engineers and developers of this project are working effectively, collaboratively, and in tandem with one another. With the huge volumes of data to be collected and processed it is fair to say that this is more a computing problem than a hardware problem – this is more an IT project than a traditional bricks and mortar one. The IJI team has continued to add value throughout the 4 years (and counting) of the engagement.Ĭonstruction of the SKA telescopes started in 2021 and the telescopes will be fully available by the end of the decade, with an operational lifetime of 50 years or more. This originally took the form of Implementing SAFe® SPC training sessions for 25 people among them technical engineers, software developers, scientists, project managers and lay members of the then-existing consortia. ![]() In July 2018, the working relationship between IJI and the SKA Observatory was born. Studying its radio emissions will add to the body of research and enable transformational science. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, spanning our planetary neighbours all the way out to the very early beginnings of our universe but is invisible at optical wavelengths. The SKA is designed to observe radio emissions such as those radiating from neutral Hydrogen. They are doing this by building an unprecedented number of receivers across multiple continents. The Square Kilometre Array ( SKA) Observatory is of immense global consequence, with a mission to build and operate cutting edge radio telescopes that will transform our understanding of the universe. ![]()
