OCTOCAM

After a successful kickoff meeting in April the OCTOCAM team worked with Gemini staff for a better understanding of Gemini operations and how the new instrument will be successfully integrated. The teams came together again in early August for the Conceptual Design review in Hilo. 
 
Pete Roaming, Project Manager for Southwest Research Institute and Christina Thöne, Deputy Project manager from IAA in Spain led the presentations of work accomplished during the first 4 months of the project. An external review panel chaired by John Troeltzsch from Ball Aerospace reviewed the required documents and led a discussion of progress thus far.
