On July 28, one more 12-m antenna was transported from the Operations Support Facility (OSF) at 2900 m to the Array Operations Site (AOS) at 5000 m asl, just after the road was cleared of snow that had piled up during the heavy snow fall in the Atacama Desert from the end of June through the beginning of July and safety for antenna transport was ensured. This brought the number of antennas to 16, the number required for Early Science Operation scheduled to start this fall. [Photographed by George Kosugi (NAOJ)]
