SKA H I Redshift Surveys Number of detected galaxies and volume sampled for a number of recent large galaxy redshift survey projects. Optical surveys are shown in blue and HI(HIPASS) surveys in red. The SKA would sample to greater depths than presently possible, and would sample galaxies in atomic hydrogen, thereby viewing galaxian masses independent of stellar content or star formation history

Techniques for the Future On-the-fly mapping Multi-beam arrays Snapshot aperture synthesis (no reliance on Earth rotation) Massive mosaicing Improved "corrections" for short-spacing hole Remote observing Orbiting elements in VLBI
