Once constructed along the main ridge of the Magdalena Mountains west of Socorro, N.M., the MRO will be a state-of-the-art observatory employing cutting-edge technology to produce detailed images of the far reaches of the universe.
The observatory will be equipped with three 2.4-meter telescopes -- two fixed and one moveable -- linked by optical interferometry to create the potential resolving power of a single 50-meter telescope.
Scientists are also looking into the possibility of staging the building of the observatory to have one telescope operational in two years, allowing single-telescope research to begin at the MRO before the construction is complete.

The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer is an ambitious multi-element imaging interferometer being built by New Mexico Tech that is located west of Socorro in the Magdalena Mountains at an altitude of 10,500 ft. The performance of the interferometer is impacted by the seeing quality from atmospheric effects.
The rapid temperature measurements are directly related to the local turbulence which in turn is responsible for the ground-level astronomical seeing.
Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Magdalena Ridge Observatory are financially supporting this research.
