The quest for an autonomous ASKAP: automating the next-generation of survey telescopes
The Australian SKA Pathfinder is an array of 36 x 12m dishes [1,2], and is the newest radio telescope developed and operated by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.As a telescope designed to carry out large all-sky surveys, it necessitated a significant divergence from the existing astronomer-operated ATNF telescopes.This presented the observatory with a unique opportunity to redefine what science operations look like from the foundations up, rather than inheriting existing structures and systems.
