A busy scene at the Japanese telescope assembly

A busy scene at the Japanese telescope assembly area at the ALMA Operations Support Facility in northern Chile. Three completed 7-meter telescopes are in their final stages of testing, with the backup structure of a 12-meter dish under assembly in the foreground. In the background, an ALMA Transporter arrives to bring one of the 7-meters up to the Technical Building. © A. Wootten (NRAO/AUI/NSF)
