This project aims to complete the Asgard near infrared instrument suite for the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope Interferometer. With the core short and long wavelength parts of the instrument already funded by partners from Belgium and the United Kingdom, this final instrument component built as a France-Australia partnership using 1.5 to 2.4 micron wavelengths aims to greatly extend the instrument to be able to directly detect a significant sample of exoplanets, to resolve and measure the mass of Active Galactic Nuclei, and calibrate Galactic Archaeology through precision measurements of star systems.

该项目旨在完成欧洲南方天文台甚大望远镜干涉仪的Asgard近红外仪器套件。该仪器的核心短波长和长波长部分已经由比利时和英国的合作伙伴资助，这一最后的仪器组件是由法国和澳大利亚合作建造的，使用1.5至2.4微米的波长，旨在大大扩展该仪器，使其能够直接探测大量的系外行星样本，分辨和测量活动星系核的质量，并通过精确测量星星系统来校准银河考古学。
