One of the highlights for me starting to working on TMT four years ago was my first visit to our laboratory, and the opportunity to see and touch the hardware prototypes for TMT鈥檚 mirror support and control systems.
In the Himalayan foothills near Naintal, India, stands the largest single-mirror optical telescope in Asia: India鈥檚 new Devasthal Telescope, designed and built under the joint leadership of the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), the Indian Institute for Astrophysics, and the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research.
Clearing a major milestone to construct and operate the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) in La Palma, Canary Islands, the 51吃瓜Pro (TIO) and Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) sign a hosting agreement.
One of the joys of working on TMT is the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from amazing people all over the world, including Japan.
Imagine trying to manufacture a primary mirror that is approximately 1/3 the size of an American football field.
Last month, the Thirty Meter Telescope successfully completed the Test Results Review of the Telescope Tertiary Mirror (M3) Prototype. Chinese Academy of Sciences鈥� Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) engineers presented a series of tests on the M3 prototype, which received full approval from the members of the multinational review panel. As a result, CIOMP is now moving into the construction phase of its...
After 44 days of evidentiary hearings involving 71 witnesses, the Hilo hearings regarding the CDUA Contested Case for the TMT project officially adjourned at 6:41 p.m. Thursday March 2.
The Thirty Meter Telescope is being designed and built by an international partnership of institutes and countries representing almost half the world鈥檚 total population.
Earlier this month, production of the TMT Common Software (CSW) was launched at ThoughtWorks Technologies in Pune, India.
Design of the Thirty Meter Telescope鈥檚 IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph), recently achieved a major milestone. The IRIS design team successfully completed the first of two slated Preliminary Design Reviews, which spanned the complete opto-mechanical design for the instrument. Additionally, the full set of operational concepts as well as all system and subsystem level design requirements and interfaces were presented.
