Abstract
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a collaboration between East Asia, Europe and North America and now under construction, will be a single research instrument composed of 66 high-precision antennas located near Cerro Chajnantor, at 5000m in the Chilean Andes. Although the interferometer is not yet completed, early science observations will already start in September 2011 with 16 antennas.
