Though the VLA is proud to be celebrating its 40th anniversary, we’re also looking toward the future! Our plans for a revamped VLA–called the next generation Very Large Array (ngVLA)–would result in a new-and-improved telescope capable of taking our observations of radio astronomy to a whole new level. Guest experts: Viviana Rosero (ngVLA Research Associate) and Rob Selina (ngVLA Project Engineer).

Join us for a virtual tour to learn more about our current plans for the ngVLA.

This virtual tour will take place on Saturday, March 27, 2021, 1-2 PM MDT [Mountain Daylight Time, UTC/GMT -6].

This event will take place on Zoom. Registration is required.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
	Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
	The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
	AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
