Upgrading the WIRO 2.3 m Telescope

这是一个升级怀俄明大学红外天文台2.3米望远镜基础设施的项目。主要目标是(1)用现代化、坚固耐用的商业部件取代过时的、定制的望远镜控制系统(软件和硬件)；(2)与卡斯珀天文馆合作举办一个与天文学家合作的夜晚活动，并让学生和教职员工有机会进入怀俄明州的社区学院进行科学培训；(3)利用现有的三台WIRO仪器中的任何一台，向全国社区提供每年150个小时的服务观测计划。

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.
