Scientific paper

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), instrumentation and proposals are summarized. The JCMT is one of the largest telescopes in the world capable of operating in the millimeter and submillimeter regions, with an antenna diameter of 15 m. The JCMT is situated close to the summit of Mauna Kea (Hawaii), and it came into operation in September 1987. The improvements concerning the accuracy of the telescope surface and the absolute pointing accuracy are considered. The JCMT instrumentation in the future are underlined.
