Project Details
Description
The goal of this project is to validate the Starbugs technology and performance using TAIPAN and to identify opportunities to commercialize Starbugs for astronomy and other applications. The two specific outcomes that this project will deliver are: a TRL 8 validation of the Starbugs technology through on-sky demonstration with the TAIPAN prototype system, including a complete quantification of the performance and reliability of Starbugs based on actual astronomical observations; and the identification of applications of Starbugs in astronomy beyond the GMT, together with technology transfer routes to industry for future commercialization.
