How windy does it get on the Chajnantor Plateau in the Chilean Andes? The AtLAST-team has installed a high-tech, weather tower for measuring the wind speed on the prospective AtLAST sites.

On October 5 and 6 we held our annual consortium meeting, the first one using a hybrid format, with two thirds of the team meeting in person at the University of Oslo, and the rest joining online. The importance of synergy and feedback from all the different work packages was the highlight of the event.
