The first radio telescope cabins of the « ALMA » programme arrived on site in CHILI.

The  ALMA  radio telescope programme, headed up by European Southern Observatory (ESO) which got underway in spring of 2007, has just reached a new stage.
The first radio telescope cabins built by Multiplast under the aegis of THALES ALENIA SPACE have just arrived in CHILI.

• The first one has been transported to the ATACAMA desert where it will be assembled at an altitude of 2000 metres before being installed at the observation site of CHAJNANTOR at an altitude of 5000 metres.
• The second one has arrived in CHILI, and the third one is on its way.

Multiplast is continuing its production of 25 cabins at a rate of one cabin every six weeks.
