This white book stems from the contributions presented at the Portuguese SKA Days, held on the 6th and 7th February 2018 with the presence of the SKA Deputy Director General Alistair McPherson and the SKA Science Director Robert Braun. This initiative was held to promote the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) - the world's largest radio telescope - among the Portuguese scientific and business communities with support from the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) with the contribution of…

DOME: towards the ASTRON & IBM center for exascale technology
TLDR
The intention of the DOME project is to evolve into the global center of excellence for transporting, processing, storing and analyzing large amounts of data for minimal energy cost: the 'ASTRON & IBM Center for Exascale Technology'.
TandEM: Titan and Enceladus mission
TLDR
TandEM is designed to build on but exceed the scientific and technological accomplishments of the Cassini–Huygens mission, exploring Titan and Enceladus in ways that are not currently possible (full close-up and in situ coverage over long periods of time).
An African VLBI network of radio telescopes
TLDR
As these antennas become redundant, the possibility exists to convert them for radio astronomy at a cost of roughly one tenth that of a new antenna of similar size, according to HartRAO, SKA Africa and the South African Department of Science and Technology.
