The VLA, now under construction in New Mexico, is an aperture synthesis array of twenty-seven 25-meter diameter antennas, with overall dimension of about 35 km. At 6-cm wavelength it will have resolution of 0.6 arcseconds and sensitivity of 0.1 mJy, and should be a superb instrument for radio studies of objects of large redshift. A more detailed description of the VLA has been given by Heeschen (1975).
