Tests of a telescope for the millimeter observatory began in Zheleznogorsk. Using the new telescope, scientists plan to study objects in the millimeter and infrared ranges - this will help understand the structure and evolution of the universe. Experts from the RESHETNYOV company test the deployment system of a prototype of the main mirror. The structure of 24 segments should create a reflective surface with a diameter of 10 meters.
