The California Institute of Technology is building a new infrared submillimeter radio telescope with the aid of a $500 000 challenge grant from The Kresge Foundation of Troy, Michigan. The submillimeter telescope is part of a $3.5‐million program at Caltech; the other major component is a three‐telescope interferometer for millimeter wavelengths being built at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. Additional funding for the project comes from NSF, NASA and the Oscar G. & Elsa S. Mayer Charitable Trust.
