Large Latin American Millimeter Array, Radio telescope in Puna de Atacama, Argentina
The Large Latin American Millimeter Array features a 12-meter diameter antenna designed for astronomical observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
The project originated in 2007 during the Latin American Regional IAU Meeting in Venezuela, leading to formal agreements between Argentina and Brazil in 2014.
The facility name incorporates reference to llama, a South American camelid native to the high-altitude regions where the telescope stands.
Located at 4,820 meters elevation near San Antonio de los Cobres, the telescope operates in conditions that minimize atmospheric interference for optimal observations.
The telescope integrates with other instruments worldwide through Very Long Baseline Interferometry technology to conduct extensive astronomical measurements.
