Descripción
The Spanish participation as an Associate Member in the Millimeter Array (MMA) project - led by the U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) - has been recently proposed to the Spanish Science and Technology Bureau (OCYT). This request to the Spanish Government is based on two key factors: (1) The high scientific interest and support of the Spanish scientific community, for whom major new fields of research--inaccessible with other instruments--will become available. (2) An industrial return that will clearly benefit Spanish companies developing cutting-edge technology and providing them with a high international profile.
