Summary
The Phase A design study of PILOT|the Path nder for an International Large Optical Telescope|has demonstrated that a wide- eld 2.5 m optical/IR telescope can be constructed at Concordia for a reasonable cost. There are no technical \show stoppers", and the cost of logistics is also quanti able and reasonable. A strong science case has been developed and published as three separate papers. In order to proceed further, the next step is to undertake a detailed design study and identify potential manufacturers. 1
