Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A) Upcoming and Current Developments Morning Session

Speaker

David Brodrick (ANU)

Description

The Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre (AITC), at ANU's Mount Stromlo Observatory, is a largely self-funding body, receiving contracts to develop optical and infrared instrumentation for some of the world's largest telescopes. We also host the Australian Space Test Facility and are a node of the Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO) consortium, operating and providing instrumentation for Australia's premier telescopes.

This presentation provides a brief introduction to the AITC, some of our current projects and the control systems used to realise them.
