This yearly shutdown for ALMA is special: during this shutdown, the first equipment required for the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade will be connected: the electrical interfaces for the OSF Correlator Room, which will be the home for the new Advanced Technology ALMA Correlator (ATAC), the new Total Power GPU Spectrometer (TPGS), parts of the Data Transmission Subsystem, and even from the computing side of things!

This came a few weeks ago, but I was on holiday: this is the ALMA newsletter with highlights of what we do at the observatory, and this issue deals with the first Preliminary Design Review (PDR) entirely devoted to the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade (WSU): the PDR for the WSU heart, the Advanced Technology ALMA Correlator (ATAC). It was a great effort from the development team, and also the review panel. And we have many PDRs more to go! https://alma.loadingediciones.cl/dev/news/pdr-wsu/
