AtLAST is a concept for a next generation 50-meter class single-dish astronomical observatory operating at sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelengths, run as a facility telescope by an international partnership and powered by renewable energy.
AtLAST has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 951815
Furthermore, AtLAST announced that the European Commission has approved the new grant proposal for the post-design study phase of AtLAST. The new Horizon Europe project, “Consolidating plans for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST2)” will start in early 2025.
