In the last decade, millimetric radioastronomy has been the spearhead of multiple breakthrough discoveries that have improved significantly our knowledge of the Universe, with instruments such as ALMA comparable to the best optical and infrared telescopes in terms of sensitivity and angular resolution. But we are on the edge of a new revolution. The Square-Kilometre Array (SKA), an international collaborative project involving more than 100 scientific and technological partners from 20 countries, will become the largest radio interferometer ever built.

NEANIAS foreseen space research services are specifically designed to tackle the future needs of the astrophysics and planetary science communities. In particular, they focus on the three critical fronts of the large-scale survey era: data visualization, map-making and source extraction and classification.
