On May 2,2014, the acceptance meeting of the fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph for Thailand National Telescope was held at Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology,National Astronomical Observatories,CAS.Suparerk,David and Christophe,from the National astronomical research institute of Thailand, attended the meeting.
The project group introduced the design,construction procedure and the performance of the optic and mechanic system in details,and discussed the packaging and transportation plan.After carefully reviewing the acceptance test sheet for the fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph and checking the spectrograph performance test,the specialistsagreed that the specifications of the spectrograph meet the design requirements,and agreed the acceptance of the fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph.
The spectrograph will be fed on the 2.4m telescope of National astronomical observatory of Thailand.During the development of the spectrograph,the National astronomical research institute of Thailand and NIAOT have established a good relationship of cooperation,and the expert of Thailand participated in progress of the development of spectrograph.The expert hope that Thailand and Niaot will carry out more extensive cooperation in astronomical technology.
