This project aims to optimise the prototype adaptive optics technology for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) by leveraging past investment in adaptive optics instrumentation and shortwave infrared detector systems. This project expects to generate significant improvements in GMT performance, with ten times greater image resolution than the Hubble Space Telescope and current estimates of >90% sky coverage, compared with ~50% coverage for current technology. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of a highly trained workforce and continued international collaboration in the field of high-technology sensor systems. This contribution to the GMT will provide significant benefits—it will change the way we view the Universe.

该项目旨在通过利用过去对自适应光学仪器和短波启发的探测器系统的投资来优化巨型麦哲伦望远镜（GMT）的原型自适应光学技术。该项目预计将在GMT性能方面产生显着改善，图像分辨率是哈勃太空望远镜的十倍，而当前的天空覆盖率> 90％，而当前技术的覆盖率约为50％。该项目的预期成果包括在高科技传感器系统领域开发训练有素的劳动力和持续国际合作。对GMT的这种贡献将提供巨大的好处 - 它将改变我们对宇宙的看法。
