Abstract
The Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica and the University of Massachusetts present a binational project, The Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) which involves the construction of a 50 m radio antenna. This instrument will operate in millimeter wavelengths with a radome or protective enclosure and will be constructed in Mexico and operated by both institutions. The construction and operation of the instrument has an estimated cost of 46.4 million US dollars; the financing is also binational.
