多目标光学和近红外光谱仪（MOONS）是VLT的下一代多目标光谱仪。这台功能强大的仪器将首次联合收割机结合：VLT的大收集能力与由1000根光纤提供的高多路复用能力，这些光纤由单独的机器人定位器移动，以及一台新颖的、非常快速的光谱仪，该光谱仪能够在0.64μm - 1.8μm的波长范围内同时提供低分辨率和高分辨率光谱。这样一个设施将为天文学界提供一个强大的、世界领先的仪器，能够为银河系、河外和宇宙学的广泛研究服务。仪器的最终组装、集成和验证阶段即将开始性能测试。
The Multi Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph (MOONS) instrument is the next generation multi-object spectrograph for the VLT. This powerful instrument will combine for the first time: the large collecting power of the VLT with a high multipexing capability offered by 1000 optical fibres moved with individual robotic positioners and a novel, very fast spectrograph able to provide both low- and high-resolution spectroscopy simultaneously across the wavelength range 0.64μm - 1.8μm. Such a facility will provide the astronomical community with a powerful, world-leading instrument able to serve a wide range of Galactic, Extragalactic and Cosmological studies. Th final assembly, integration and verification phase of the instrument is now about to start performance testing.
