Abstract

The Gemini Multi Conjugated Adaptive Optics System GeMS is the only laser MCAO operational facility regularly used for queue-based science observations since 2013. GeMS delivers close to diffraction limit resolution in the infrared over a large 2 arc-minute field of view. Over the last two years GeMS has undergone a series of upgrades to improve both its performance and also its efficiency. On the technical side, we have integrated a new laser system in the laser guide star facility module. We are near the installation of the new Natural Guide Star wave front sensor, and a 3rd deformable mirror is on the way. While operationally GeMS is set to improve its availability and efficacy by moving operations down to our base facility and reducing the number of staff needed to operate the system. We will give updates of the each of these upgrades.
