AST/RO (Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory), a joint project between AT&T Bell Labs, Boston University and the University of Illinois, will place a 1.7-m submillimetre telescope at the South Pole (a high, dry site) in 1992. The highly automated off-axis parabolic telescope will be equipped initially with two channels of 500 GHz (600 μm) heterodyne receivers and AOS spectrometers. A primary goal of the project is a large-scale survey of CI and CO(4-3) line emission from the southern Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds, in an effort to further the understanding of the warm interstellar medium and star formation in the two galaxies.
