Description

In this line, the CTA projects (Cherenkov Telescope Array for the detection of high energy phenomena), EST (the European Solar Telescope) and NRT (New Robotic Telescope, also known as LT2) are the three leading projects that are currently being developed in IACTec. Each one of them in a different construction stage, is intended to bring together in the same space the experience and capacity of each human team of these three major projects, which are the successors of the experience accumulated in the construction of the GTC, in order to search synergies and consolidate the IAC as the entity that brings together three of the most ambitious telescope projects carried out in the world today.
