ATF site images. A major project of the NRAO Tucson and Socorro staff is the ALMA Test Facility (ATF). The ATF is the test bed upon which the ALMA prototype antennas will be evaluated. Each of the prototype antennas will be evaluated using a uniform set of criteria which gauge their relative performance. Evaluation tests will conclude in 2004.

NRAO Tucson is also involved in a wide array of other ALMA development activities.
