The Square Kilometre Array is the largest mega-Science project of the next decade aiming to build enormous radio telescope arrays across Western Australia and Southern Africa. With 160 TeraByte/s data generated in just stage one it presents unprecedented data movement and processing challenges. As New Zealand’s first venture in a mega-Project with lead roles, it also represents numerous firsts for the country. This talk will outline the project, New Zealand’s key contributions and people involved in its computing design, and update its progress as the six year stage one design phase completes. It will also touch on how the project is helping shape access to research data across future science projects.
