Second Japanese 7-m Antenna Installed at AOS

On September 4, the second Japanese 7-m antenna was transported to the Array Operations Site (AOS) at 5000 m asl from the Operations Support Facility (OSF) at 2900 m where final adjustment of the antenna had been made.

The picture below shows the 7-m antenna on the transporter leaving the OSF. All wheels of the transporter are being steered to move diagonally forward.
