Description
Here I will describe progress with AtLAST, a wide field of view (1-2 degree), 50-meter aperture single dish telescope that will be located at over 5000 meters above sea level, high in the Atacama Desert. AtLAST will accommodate a vast range of large (2 to 4.5 meter diameter) instruments operating from 30 GHz to 1 THz in a cabin that enables expedient switching between receivers. AtLAST will also feature a throughput unprecedented in the mm and submm regime, thus delivering a sustainable, upgradeable platform into the foreseeable future.
