The SKA Project is a science mega-project whose mission is to build the world’s two largest radio telescopes with sensitivity, angular resolution, and survey speed far surpassing current state-of-the-art instruments at relevant radio frequencies. The Low Frequency telescope, SKA-Low, is designed to observe between 50 and 350 MHz and will be built at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. The Mid Frequency telescope, SKA-Mid, is designed to observe between 350 MHz and 15 GHz and will be built in the Meerkat National Park, in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Each telescope will be delivered in a number of stages, called Array Assemblies. Each Array Assembly will be a fully working telescope which will allow us to understand the design and potentially improve the system to deliver a better scientific instrument for the users. The final control system will consist of around 2 million control points per telescope, and the first Array Assembly, known as AA0.5, is being delivered at the time of ICALEPCS 2023.
