The Telescopio San Pedro Mártir project

The Telescopio San Pedro Martir project intends to construct a 6.5m telescope to be installed at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in the Sierra San Pedro Martir in northern Baja California, Mexico. The project is an association of Mexican institutions, lead by the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica,Optica y Electronica and UNAM's Instituto de Astronomia, in partnership with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the University of Arizona's Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory. The project is advancing through the design stage, having completed five design reviews of different subsystems in 2016 and 2017 (enclosure and services: PDR, CDR; optical design: PDR; optics: progress review; telescope: PDR). Once completed, the partners plan to operate the MMT and TSPM as a binational astrophysical observatory.Mexico by the IA-UNAM; INAOE; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia [LN 127736, LN 232649, LN 260369, LN 271117, LN 280035, 224003, 264173, 272027, 279517, 293074]; Agencia Espacial Mexicana [248500]This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
