Astronomy Geographic Advantage Act, 2007 (Act No. 21 of 2007)RegulationsProtection of the Karoo Central Astronomy Advantage Areas in terms of the Astronomy Geographic Advantage Act, 2007Schedule A-Regulations to prohibit and restrict the use of certain radio frequency spectrum and certain radio activities in the Karoo central astronomy advantage areas declared for radio astronomy purposesAnnexure A to Schedule A - Map of Protection Corridors |
Map of protection corridors containing the SKA radio astronomy stations within the Karoo Central Astronomy Advantage Area 1
| (1) | The map on the next page depicts the 20-km radius circle around the SKA Virtual Centre, within which approximately 173 SKA radio astronomy stations will be located. The map also depicts three protection corridors required for approximately 24 SKA radio astronomy stations located within the Karoo Central Astronomy Advantage Area 1. |
| (2) | Although the geographical area for the protection corridors is related to that for the Karoo Central Astronomy Advantage Area 1, any radio frequency interference and the applicable restrictions must be attended to in terms of the radio frequency spectrum allocations to the geographical areas as set out in subregulation 2(1) of this Schedule A. |
| (3) | A smaller scale version of the map on the next page and/or a GIS-shape file is available on request from the management authority. The perimeters of the corridors are 5 km distant on either side of the spiral arms. |
| (4) | Applicants for a permit, who are determining radio frequency interference levels in terms of sub-regulation 4(2)(a), may request the management authority to provide the applicable geographical locations on the periphery of the protection corridors or on the 20-km circle around the SKA Virtual Centre for the radio frequency interference sources under consideration. |
