The Front-End team of ANDES, including the SCAO and IFU subsystems will meet in Porto on December 11 and 12, 2023. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the mass, volume, and different functions of the front-end. The different architects of ANDES are also expected to participate.

The first evaluation process of ANDES was recently held at the ESO headquarters in Garching. The project managers, as well as the system engineers of ANDES, all met together with the ESO reviewers to perform the System Architecture Review of ANDES.
