On January 15, Dr. Mamoru Mohri, Director of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) of Japan and the first Japanese astronaut, visited Cuba, Peru and Chile as an instructor dispatched by the Japanese Foreign Ministry. In Chile, after giving a lecture in Santiago, Dr. Mohri visited the ALMA site. Looking three antennas constructed at the AOS at 5000-meter altitude, he expressed his wish to visit the site again when ALMA is completed. The picture shows Dr. Mohri receiving explanations of observation using control computers at the OSF at 3000-meter altitude by Shin’ichiro Asayama (JAO international staff).
