The Australian European Southern Observatory Positioner (AESOP): The aim of the Australian European Southern Observatory Positioner (AESOP) is to fund the construction costs of an innovative instrument to be built in Australia and installed onto the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) VISTA telescope. Australia leads the world in fibre-positioning instrumentation and their scientific exploitation. This project will allow Australian researchers to take a leading role through major studies of the spatial distributions of galaxies. The outcomes of the project will be construction and delivery of an optical fibre-positioning system to the ESO, resulting in general access to the ESO's premier survey facility for eight Australian researchers.

澳大利亚欧洲南方天文台定位器（AESOP）：澳大利亚欧洲南方天文台定位器（AESOP）的目的是为在澳大利亚建造并安装在欧洲南方天文台（ESO）VISTA望远镜上的创新仪器的建设成本提供资金。澳大利亚在光纤定位仪器及其科学开发方面处于世界领先地位。该项目将使澳大利亚研究人员能够在对星系空间分布的重大研究中发挥主导作用。该项目的成果将是为欧洲南方天文台建造和交付一个光纤定位系统，从而使8名澳大利亚研究人员能够普遍使用欧洲南方天文台的首要调查设施。
