A few photos where you can see how well the team progress at Paranal. Two of them show the excellent team spirit we have : taking measures to shut up our software engineer, and then most of us hanging around on the floor.

 The other two show an historical milestone: the first MATISSE hardware is brought to the telescope platform, and a bit later, the Project Manager enjoying to have the first piece of MATISSE in the VLTI Lab.

The team currently present in Chile is composed of Pierre Antonelli, Jean-Michel Clausse, Michael Lehmitz, Lieselotte Jochum, Paul Bristow, Thibaut Guerlet, Anthony Meilland. This first part of the team has been reached this week-end by additional persons from Europe : Pierre Cruzalèbes, Felix Bettonvil, Aurélie Marcoto, Eddy Elswijk, Chistophe Bailet, Tobias Maurer, Ralf Klein, Werner Laun.
Pierre Bourget, Miguel Riquelme and Chester Rojas will reach the group of persons at Paranal next week.
