The Plateau de Bure Interferometer (now called NOEMA) is the most advanced facility for milimetre radio astronomy in the Norther hemisphere. The Interferometer will consists of twelve 15-meter antennas and operates with an angular resolution up to 0.1 arcsec. By doubling its number of antennas, IRAM will transform the Interferometer into an even more powerful instrument. This new telescope called NOEMA (NOrthern Extended Millimetre Array), will be fully operational in 2018.
