Abstract

Gemini Observatory conducted a technical assessment and feasibility study for the GLASS Implementation Feasibility Study 2020 project. The study aimed to improve image quality and telescope efficiency and determine cost-effectiveness. This paper outlines the project management and systems engineering framework that will be implemented to deliver complete requirements for building GLASS and integrating it into the facility. A robust systems engineering and project management foundation is crucial due to the project's technical complexity and resource constraints, as successfully implementing project monitoring and control upon actual technical progress allows for timely and informed decision-making, resulting in flexibility in the design development process.
