The first MATISSE team arrived to Chile and has started unboxing the instrument.

All sub-systems of the instrument are being put in place in the NIH (New Integration Hall) located at the basecamp of the Paranal observatory: the warm optics table, the electronics cabinets, the Helium compressors for the cryo-coolers, etc.
