The Thirty Meter Telescope is one of a new class of extremely large telescopes that will allow us to see deeper into space and observe cosmic objects with unprecedented sensitivity and detail.
TMT will be a unique tool for probing many outstanding open questions in astronomy. ●
The Thirty Meter Telescope is being designed and developed by the TMT International Observatory LLC (TIO).
In 2009, the Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory (TIO) selected Maunakea, on Hawaiʻi Island, as the preferred site to build and operate TMT after a rigorous five-year campaign that spanned the globe.
The second TMT India roundel has been completed! The roundel was polished at the Coherent facilities in Richmond, California by the India TMT Coordination Centre (ITCC) staff, using ITCC equipment under the supervision of Coherent’s staff.
TMT is currently accepting applications for its International Science Development Teams (ISDTs) until March 1, 2023.
