Purpose
Caltech received this grant to initiate a detailed design study of the Thirty-Meter Telescope. This giant optical/infrared telescope is larger than any ground-based telescope in operation. Caltech and the University of California will collaborate with the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy and the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy for the detailed design phase of the telescope. Outcomes for this grant include development of a preliminary design for the telescope.
