The Solar Sub-Millimeter wave Telescope (SST) is now in its final stage of construction and a definite schedule has been established. The 1.5 m diameter reflector has been completed and presents an excellent surface with a deviation of 18 microns (r.m.s.). The reflector construction employed the new "slumping" technique (Martin et al. 1998). The SST building, including one 3.4 m gore-tex radome and a room for optical imaging spectrographs (from IAP, Bern and OV, UFRJ, Brasil), has been completed now at El Leoncito, San Juan, Argentina. Numerous electrical, electronical, mechanical tests, as well as software tests, have been performed at the IAP, Bern, Switzerland, and at Itapetinga, Brasil. The SST was assembled in Bern, consisting of the 1.5 m reflector, four 210 and two 405 GHz radiometers, the positioner, the interface box between the reflector and the radiometers, and the counter-weights. Part of the tests and integration of the SST is beeing done at Bern, with a co-participation of researchers and technicians of CRAAE and CASLEO. The shipment of the SST to El Leoncito will be in February 1999, and the final installation is scheduled for the period March-May 1999. The SST project received main financial support from the Brazilian Agency FAPESP (Proc. 93/3321-7), complemented by funds from the IAFE and CASLEO/CONICET, Argentina, and the IAP, Switzerland.
