Twee Nederlandse bedrijven, Dutch Space en TNO-TPD, hebben aan de European Southern Observatory (ESO) opnieuw drie delay lines geleverd welke deze maand op de berg Paranal in de Chileense Atacama woestijn geïnstalleerd zullen gaan worden in de interferometer van de Very Large Telescope (VLT). De levering is een vervolg op eerdere leveringen van drie delay lines, die nu volledig operationeel zijn in de interferometer tunnel op de berg.
