UP AND AWARE - 7
5 Collaboration
CHAPTER

(Coping with Emotion)

Beginning:

In March 2013, after 30 years of planning and 10 years of construction, the

ALMA radio telescope – the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array –
was inaugurated in the Atacama Desert in South America. This telescope array is
helping in spotting new planets. It is also sighting some of the oldest galaxies in

the universe.

This project is a collaboration between North America, Europe, East Asia and the
host country Chile. Together, they built ALMA’s antennae and divided other work
related to its construction and operation.

The giant telescope array is a marvel in itself, but equally fascinating is how
different regions of the world came together to work on this project. By working
together on ALMA, the partner nations got a facility much more powerful than
what they could have built individually, researchers say.

This project is a collaborative effort.
