Scientific paper

The instrument considered represents currently the radio telescope with the best performance for astronomical studies involving the wavelength range in the vicinity of 1 mm. For a time of approximately one year, the telescope has been employed in astronomical observational programs. The time period between the planning stage and the beginning of the operational phase is considered. In connection with the opportunities for astronomical studies in the millimeter wavelength range, the new instrument was designed especially for observations involving the range from 0.8 mm to 3 mm. Planning operations for this telescope began already in 1972. Attention is given to discussions with French and British scientists, the selection of a location for the instrument in southern Spain, aspects of European cooperation regarding the instrument, the design of radio telescopes for millimeter astronomy, the characteristic features of the new instrument, data processing and evaluation, and the first results obtained with the telescope.
