The NESTOR collaboration made important progresses and plans soon to deploy in deep sea a detector with similar to 10(4) m(2) effective surface. This detector will be able not only to demonstrate the validity of the experimental approach but also to start data collection and then real Neutrino Astrophysics. The status of the preparation of the experiment and the future programs are described." }
