"Filtering Satellite Interference for Square Kilometre Array Precursor"

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is developing techniques to mitigate satellite interference as it copes with increased satellite traffic, particularly in the bands used for its observations. The project's head of data operations, Dr. Matthew Whiting, highlighted concerns about the impact of satellite signals on ASKAP's operations and discussed efforts to predict and mitigate interference. ASKAP's use of Pawsey's "Setonix" supercomputer has also presented challenges due to the project's high data rate, producing four terabytes an hour at its peak.
