Project Details

Description

MANIFEST is the Starbug Fibre Positioner facility for the Giant Magellan Telescope. It is designed to place a variety of optical fibre payloads (high-multiplex single fibres, image slicers, or IFUs) on tens or hundreds of targets simultaneously, and to feed the light to GMACS, G-CLEF, or other future GMT instruments. This phase is the Conceptual Design Study for MANIFEST.
