SKA-Mid Opens Science Verification at AA2

The SKA's mid-frequency array in South Africa's Karoo reaches AA2 in 2029, two years after its Australian counterpart, opening science verification observations.

SKAO's SKA-Mid timeline sets AA2, and with it the start of Science Verification, at 2029, with AA* in 2031 and Cycle 0 after that^[1]
AA2 for SKA-Mid supports both sidereal and non-sidereal tracking, single pointing, a 40-channel maximum and observations capped at 4 hours^[1]
SKA-Mid is built in the Karoo in South Africa's Northern Cape, around and incorporating the existing MeerKAT dishes^[3]
Its Australian counterpart SKA-Low reaches the same AA2 stage two years earlier, in 2027^[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
