Description	Journal: Physics World The physicist co-ordinating a project to build a €1.5 bn array of radio telescopes has said that the global recession is unlikely to impede plans to begin construction of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) in 2011. However, Richard Schilizzi, director of the SKA Program Development Office in Manchester, UK, concedes that "we do not know what impact the current economic crisis will have on public spending in general, and on science projects in particular". Meanwhile, political instability in a number of the SKA's potential host countries may also lead to changes in the array's configuration.
