Scientific paper

In the following, we give the up to date information about activities in Chile, both at the ALMA site and in Santiago. The most exciting recent development has been the interferometric measurement of Mars, done at the Operations Support Facility (OSF). This result is proof that the antennas, receivers, local oscillators, software and correlator are functioning well together. Although there was a similar result at the Antenna Test Facility in Socorro, New Mexico, this is a major step forward since all of the components used in the recent test are final designs or close to it. Again, I would like to congratulate all the people all over the world who have made this milestone possible! Additional progress at OSF has many components, which we invite you to discover in this issue. At the Chajnantor site, the Array Operations Site building has received its final modifications and series production of antenna foundations is underway. All of this is a crucial contribution to the prerequisites for Early Science. A new feature, starting in this issue, is a section titled "ALMA In Depth". This series of articles will present an account of features that contribute to the unique capabilities of the ALMA instrument. This series starts with receivers, and will continue with other parts of the system in future issues.
