Trident I (C4) was deployed in 1979 and phased out in the 1990s and early 2000s. Trident II (D5) was deployed in 1990; it is planned to be in service past 2020. As of 2005, a decision is expected soon about whether or not to replace the UK's missiles and submarine fleet. Critics from the peace movement and within the military establishment have questioned the usefulness of such a weapon in the current military climate.

Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT)

A 50-meter-diameter (164 ft.) millimeter-wave telescope – the world's largest for use in this region of the spectrum. It is designed to operate mainly at wavelengths of 0.85 to 4 millimeters.

The LMT was inaugerated by Mexican President Vicente Fox in November 2006 and is scheduled to begin scientific operations in 2008.
