Review on deliverables: DS 8Review on deliverables: DS 8

Design Study 8 produces the major deliverables of the project (the focal and cohering point of SKADS):

1. Overall System Design2. Preliminary SKA Plan3. White Paper for the ISSC

It is the collection of all activities and will show and establish the direction towards the SKA
