It is the purpose of this project to develop and use a new                      facility at the South Pole for the purpose of making astronomical               and atmospheric observations in the sub-millimeter wavelength                   region of the spectrum.  This new telescope will have a aperture                of 1.2 meters, a state-of-the art superconducting-insulating-                   superconducting hetrodyne receiver and an acousto-optic                         spectrometer.  The instrument will take advantage of the very low               water vapor content of the cold polar atmosphere, conditions that               are unique to the polar plateau.  It is normally the water vapor                that limits the sensitivity of observations in this spectral                    region.                                                                                                                                                         The project is called Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and                     Remote Observatory (ASTRO).                                                                                                                                     Some specific science objectives are:                                                                                                                           Atomic carbon and carbon monoxide surveys of selected regions of                the southern skies;                                                                                                                                             Observations of star-forming clouds, nearby galaxies and                        envelopes of mass-losing stars;                                                                                                                                 Measuring the profiles of atmospheric ozone, carbon monoxide and                possibly other trace gases to further understanding of the polar                stratosphere and the causes of the annual ozone hole, and;                                                                                                      A search for protogalaxies.                                                                                                                                     The project will be jointly supported by NSF's Division of Polar                Programs, Division of Astronomical Sciences, AT&T Bell                          Laboratories, The University of Illinois and Boston University.                 The telescope will eventually be made available for observations                by investigators from institutions other than the original three.
