22.01.2016 Ralph Hofferbert On the way to the stars: Shipping of LINC-NIRVANA to the LBT

As already written on our Christmas card:
Wintry mood prevailed in November 2015 on top of Mount Graham, Arizona, at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT): after more than ten years of planning, manufacturing and testing, LINC-NIRVANA found its ultimate mounting pad between the two primary mirrors of the LBT for the first time. The near infrared imaging instrument shall combine – depending on the implementation phase – adaptive optics and interferometric beam combination of the two mirrors to achieve ultra high spatial resolution.

Beforehand, the instrument had been disassembled und made a 6-week-trip over the Atlantic as one oversize transport plus nine sea containers. In the months to come the delicate optical components and the cryogenic near-infrared camera will be re-integrated, such that  LINC-NIRVANA and the telescope get finally married from mid of 2016 on.
