Updates on MeerKAT+, the MeerKAT radio telescope extension project

The MeerKAT+ (MK+) project will extend the current MeerKAT array at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) site in the Karoo region of South Africa. The South African MeerKAT telescope is a SARAO precursor to the Square Kilometre Array mid-frequency instrument (SKA-MID). The MK+ project is a partnership between SARAO, the Max Planck Society (MPG, MPIfR), and the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), and is an important milestone towards the SKA-MID array. We will provide details and updates on the MK+ project.
