Description33 ALMA Antennas on Chajnantor (wallpaper).jpg |
English: On 12 May 2012, another Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) antenna was carried up to the 5000-metre plateau of Chajnantor, bringing the total on the plateau to 33. This marks a half-way point for ALMA, as the telescope will have a total of 66 antennas when completed in 2013.
The state-of-the-art ALMA antennas, which weigh about 100 tonnes each, need custom-constructed transporter vehicles to move them between the Operations Support Facility and the higher Array Operations Site. These twin transporters, as well as 25 antennas out of the final total of 66, are among ESO’s many contributions to the project. Deutsch: Am 12. Mai 2012 wurde eine weitere ALMA-Antenne auf das Chajnantor-Plateau transportiert, womit jetzt 33 Antennen auf der Hochebene stehen. Diese Zahl markiert Halbzeit für ALMA, das im Endausbau im Jahr 2013 aus 66 Antennen bestehen wird.
Die hochmodernen ALMA-Antennen - jede wiegt ungefähr 100 Tonnen - benötigen zum Transport ein speziell konstruiertes Fahrzeug, um sie zwischen der Operations Support Facility und der höher gelegenen Array Operation Site zu bewegen. Die zwei Transporter sowie 25 der Antennen sind unter anderem zwei der wichtigsten Beiträge der ESO zum Projekt. Русский: 12 мая 2012 г. еще одна антенна ALMA была доставлена на Чахнантор, что довело общее число антенн на плато до 33. Это событие отмечает половину пути до завершения строительства ALMA -- когда в 2013 году телескоп будет готов, он будет состоять в общей сложности из 66 антенн.
Ультрасовременные антенны ALMA, каждая весом примерно в 100 тонн, требуют специально сконструированных транспортировочных средств для их доставки из места изготовления (Operations Support Facility) на расположенное на большой высоте место установки (Array Operations Site). Два транспортера-близнеца, как и 25 из общего числа 66 антенн -- один из многих вкладов ESO в проект. |
