This is a project to upgrade the infrastructure at the University of Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) 2.3 meter telescope. The main objectives are (1) to replace an antiquated, custom-built telescope control system (software and hardware) with modern, robust commercial components, (2) to initiate a Night with an Astronomer partnership with the Casper Planetarium and to provide telescope access to Wyoming's community colleges to give students and faculty opportunities for science training at UW and WIRO, and (3) to offer a service observing program of 150 clear hours per year to the national community on any of three existing WIRO instruments.

这是一个升级怀俄明州大学红外天文台（WIRO）2.3米望远镜基础设施的项目。 主要目标是（1）更换陈旧的、定制的望远镜控制系统（软件和硬件）与现代化，强大的商业组件，（2）发起一个与卡斯珀天文馆合作的天文学之夜，并提供望远镜进入怀俄明州的社区学院，让学生和教师有机会在华盛顿大学和WIRO进行科学培训，以及（3）在现有的三种WIRO仪器中的任何一种上，向全国社区提供每年150净小时的服务观测计划。
