Facility Investments
In keeping with its core purpose of
advancing the frontiers of science and engineering, NSF is acutely
aware of the need for major research platforms that support the
activities of a broad spectrum of researchers and educators. FY
1998 will see the completion of construction funding for the Laser
Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), maintain
investments in facility improvements at the South Pole, and initiate
support for the Polar Cap Observatory and the first phase of the
Millimeter Array radio telescope.
