About CARA
Our mission is to establish and operate an
astrophysical observatory at the South Pole
to investigate the origins of structure in the Universe.
Instruments now deployed there take
advantage of the cold, dry and stable
conditions which make the Antarctic Plateau the best site on Earth for
observations at infrared and sub millimeter wavelengths.
The Center also pursues a broad range of programs in
educational
outreach and knowledge transfer.
