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在自适应光学仪器和短波红外探测器系统方面的投资，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性能方面产生显着的改进，图像分辨率比哈勃太空望远镜高出10倍，目前估计的天空覆盖率超过90%，而目前技术的覆盖率为50%。该项目的预期成果包括培养一支训练有素的劳动力队伍，并在高技术传感器系统领域继续开展国际合作。对GMT的贡献将带来巨大的好处-它将改变我们看待宇宙的方式。
