Caltech Submillimeter Observatory

The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (or CSO) is a 10.4 m (34 ft) diameter submillimeter wavelength telescope situated alongside the 15 m James Clerk Maxwell submillimeter telescope (JCMT) at Mauna Kea Observatory.

The CSO and JCMT were combined to form the first submillimeter interferometer. The success of this experiment was important in pushing ahead the construction of the Submillimeter Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array interferometers.
