#SquareKilometreArray #datacenter needs two #FaradayCages
SKA is an international project that is constructing 131,072 individual antennae with a combined area of around 1km2, making it comfortably the world’s biggest #radiotelescope and hopefully one that gives humanity a tool with which to gain new perspectives on our universe. Two Faraday cages ensure equipment inside the datacenter does not leak radio waves that could harm the operation of the giant radio #telescope.

Square Kilometre Array is so sensitive, its datacenter needs two Faraday cages to stop RF leaks

I expect a rush on #mobilephone #faradaycages from individuals not wanting to be #spied on.

Also, since we're talking #FaradayCages

There are two scenarios here.
Containing a radio signal from leaving (metal tin ok)

EMP pulse strike. Complicated formula that includes thickness and type of material and mesh vs solid. I looked into it. Lots of good data from the cold war tests. Because we're talking very high energy.
