S255, a molecular condensation at a distance of about 2 kpc consists of two main components (S255 IR and S255 N) separated by slightly over 1'. Observations by single-dish telescopes inferred dense gas residing in both components suitable for forming massive stars and clusters. We performed observations of these two components with SMA, VLA and GMRT at an angular resolution of a few arc seconds. SMA observations covered broad frequency ranges around 220, 230, 279 and 288 GHz. The continuum emission and about 50 spectral lines from about 20 different species were detected (including N2H+, SiO, DCN, DNC, DCO+, H2CO, HNCO, etc.). VLA observations provide data on NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) while at GMRT we mapped the 610 and 1280 MHz continuum emission. We combine these data to obtain a rather complete picture of this area. Distributions of various molecules are quite different (some maps for S255IR are shown in Fig. 1). Several new clumps are revealed; some of them have no visible counterpart in continuum. In both components high velocity outflows and disk-like structures are present. We estimate physical parameters of the observed objects and discuss their chemistry with an emphasis on N2H+, NH3 and deuterated species.
