ALMA's mechanical beasts of burden
A close up of one of the ALMA transporters. These 130-tonne mechanical beasts of burden heave their formidable frames along on a set of 28 wheels, at a top speed of 20 km/h. They are used to reposition ALMA antennas across the Chajnator plateau, and, despite their monstrous size, they do it with millimeter precision.
