- The International Gemini Observatory is one of the world’s largest and most productive ground-based astronomical observatories.
- The International Gemini Observatory is funded by an international partnership including the United States, Canada, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and the Republic of Korea, and is operated by the National Science Foundation’s National Optical and Infrared Research Laboratory (NOIRLab), under the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).
- Gemini seeks to drive investigator-led breakthrough discoveries spanning from the closest exoplanets to the most distant quasars, while reaching its goal of becoming the premierlarge-aperture time domain astronomy follow-up facility in the era of Rubin Observatory, Roman Space Telescope, and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
- There is an on-going program of improvements for the Gemini-South Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system (GeMS) and the development of a new flexible Gemini-North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) system to operate in combination with GIRMOS. Finally, the next-generation facility instrument is expected to start within the next few years, in partnership with the Gemini community.
- The central mission of the Observatory is to provide access to large telescopes equipped with the high-quality instrumentation so that scientists in the partner user communities can carry out forefront research in optical/infrared astronomy at maximum effectiveness.
