Science in the Desert: Interview with Former Array Maintenance Manager at the World’s Largest Telescope ALMA – SCS Interview #2

Dr. David Rabanus worked as array maintenance manager for the world’s largest telescope, ALMA, in the Atacama desert in Chile. ALMA observes parts of the night sky that regular telescopes can not access and since its opening astronomy has been enriched with new discoveries.
