Contact magazine

Contact is the SKAO's magazine. A public-friendly publication produced by SKAO’s Communications team, it covers the broad range of SKA-related activities taking place around the world in a single publication. It was designed for the digital age from the start, and is only available in electronic format. Contact is published via the electronic publishing platform Issuu, and is optimised for mobile viewing (the Issuu app is available via the Apple and Google App Store). 

The cover of the 12th edition of Contact, the SKAO's magazine, featuring images from traditional dances in both Australia and South Africa, with an image of the Pleiades constellation seen from the southern hemisphere in between.
