Concept of Operations

This document expresses the stakeholders’ and owners’ intention for the observatory. Through high-level operational objectives and constraints, it describes what the observatory is expected to do.

Science Requirements

This document quantifies the broad observational requirements needed to address the scientific goals of the partnership, which are described in the Giant Magellan Telescope Science Book and the science cases for the first-generation instruments.

Observatory Requirements

This document is the response of the Giant Magellan Telescope to the science requirements document. It contains the top-level engineering requirements for the observatory that is to be built.

Observatory Architecture

This document captures the top-level system design, consistent with the observatory requirements. It defines the subsystems and their interactions as they deliver the various system configurations that enable the observatory to implement the observatory performance modes defined in the operations requirements document.

Observatory Operations Concepts

This document describes how the observatory design described in the observatory architecture document will be operated by stakeholders during operations to meet concept of operations objectives and science and observatory requirements.
