The Cabinet today approved the funding, € 38 million in ten years, Spain’s participation in the project of European giant telescope E-ELT, which will be installed in Chile. It is the last country in the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to confirm your participation in this program since I made the above, Portugal, in May last year. Did not participate in the E-ELT, Spanish companies could not hope to construction contracts or the new observatory scientists have had access to it as a country researchers member of ESO.
