Descripción
The plans for the commissioning of the GTC are being drawn up at the GTC Project Office. The commissioning will start before first light, with the commissioning of the telescope mount and will continue until after normal science operations begin. The aim of the commissioning is to convert a series of subsystems into a single instrument that is capable of delivering high quality science. Hence, as part of the commissioning tasks, some science demonstration projects will be undertaken.
