Scientific paper

The NTT Upgrade Project has come to an end at the end of March. Over the past 4 years, the readers of this column have been able to follow the progress of this project through its three distinct phases: the stabilisation of the operations of the NTT, the installation at the NTT of the VLT control system, and the use of this refurbished facility for scientific observations within the framework of the VLT operational model (see The Messenger Nos. 75 to 91). The upgrade project has fulfilled its objectives of strengthening the NTT as a world leading 4-metre-class telescope and of using it as a testbench for the technical and operational concepts and solutions adopted for the VLT, prior to the entry of its first unit telescope into operations. With consideration for the latter objective, the NTT Upgrade Project has been conducted under the overall responsibility of the ESO VLT Division (but with important resources of other divisions, in particular the La Silla Division). Now that the project is completed, quite naturally, NTT operation has come back since the beginning of Period 61 under the responsibility of the La Silla Division, like all the other ESO telescopes on La Silla.
