ALMA (including ACA) is currently humankind's largest astronomical project. It's currently under construction 5,000 m up on the Chajnantor plateau in Peru's Atacama Desert.
Due for completion next year, at least fifty 12-m dishes and at least one 65m dish, enhanced by a compact array of 4 x 12-m and 12 x 7-m receivers will work in concert to further extend science's vision in the 0.3mm up to 9.6mm bandwidth range.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a partnership of the EU, North America (USA & Canada) and East Asia (Japan & Taiwan) in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.
