The antennas can be moved across the desert plateau over distances from 150 m to 16 km, which will give ALMA a powerful variable "zoom", similar in its concept to that employed at the centimetre-wavelength Very Large Array (VLA) site in New Mexico, United States.
Antennerne kan flyttes rundt i ørkenens plateau over afstande fra 150 m til 16 km, hvilket vil give ALMA en kraftig variabel "Zoom", magen til konceptet ved Very Large Array (VLA) i New Mexico, USA.
