Verre Industrie has been selected to manufacture substrates for a test campaign at the ESO (European Southern Observatory) site in Chile’s Atacama Desert.
The Cerro Paranal Observatory is an astronomical observatory located at an altitude of 2,635 meters, which enables the study of stars in wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the infrared.
The project comprises four 8.2-metre main telescopes, which together with four 1.8-metre auxiliary telescopes (the “ATs”) make up the Very Large Telescope (VLT).
