Partnering country scientists get much more time on the telescope and greater say in project planning and design.(BIVN) – Three years after attempts to begin construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on the summit of Maunakea were halted, the National Science Foundation is planning to hold meetings on its involvement in the international astronomy project. Being an observer in a project is distinct from being a partner. Last year, India announced its decision to be involved with TMT as an observer. Each of these countries will contribute between 10% and 20% of the project cost. Other than India, the project will include the US, Canada, Japan and China. Much, however, needs to be done in the TMT project, which is expected to start construction late next year and be ready to be used for scientific purposes by 2021. Eswar Reddy, programme director, India TMT Coordination Centre, “Most don’t have any direct experience for making such devices for a high-science project. “We’ve been in talks for over four years with GOAL, L&T, Godrej and have some test prototypes ready," said B. In comparison, India had contributed nearly $25 million to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN, Geneva, but much of these were software and mechanical support devices for the various detectors at the LHC. Indian experts associated with the project said that India is likely to contribute about 10% of the approximately $1.4-2 billion required to build the telescope, though this is yet to be cleared by the Indian government and nearly 70% of this would be in kind, in the form of hardware, materials and software They are expected to provide deeper insight into the mysterious dark energy and dark matter-that is believed to make up at least 95% of our universe the role of black holes in the evolution of galaxies and throw light on the origin and dynamics of the Milky Way. These telescopes will be at least 81 times more sensitive than the current class of telescopes available and therefore provide, several times more quickly, much sharper images of distant galaxies. If and when the latter is set up, it’s planned to become the largest of its kind at 39m. Others being planned include the Giant Magellan Telescope and the European Extremely Large Telescope. The TMT will be the first of a generation of so-called extra-large telescopes that will be a significant leap over the current class of telescopes that are 8-10m in diameter. “Qualitatively, I think this will be a more important contribution than that of India’s to the CERN project," said Ram Sagar, director of the Aryabhatta Research Institute for Observational Sciences, which is involved with the project. ![]()
