Thirty meter telescope 2030 software#
The CSW or backbone of TMT’s Observatory Software Architecture is a package of services and software infrastructure components that integrates TMT software systems and provides an interface for observatory-wide configuration, command, control, status reporting and data management.Īt its core, the Observatory Execution Software Architecture is the Executive Software (ESW) subsystem - akin to a central engine that synchronizes the TMT subsystems’ operations. Additionally, TMT’s Data Management System’s (DMS) prototyping is complete. Thoughtworks’ delivery track record and technical expertise were instrumental in the design, development, delivery and current maintenance of TMT’s Common Software (CSW) and Executive Software (ESW) systems. This analysis also helped translate the requirement for the Thoughtworks software development team who were new to astronomical control systems. The pioneering project team effectively predicted TMT’s future requirements building a system without customer feedback as it had no immediate user. The Project Office of TMT in Pasadena, Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bengaluru, and Thoughtworks have collaborated to develop TMT’s observatory software system – in effect building the world’s largest optical telescope that will help solve the mysteries of the universe. Taking a quantum leap to pioneer innovation
Astronomers hope to use the insights TMT provides to answer fundamental questions about everything, from life in the universe, to exoplanets, to the physics of black holes. This giant telescope will observe the universe using a wide light spectrum – from deep red to extreme violet. The multi-billion dollar project is a quantum leap from current telescopes in size, technology and innovativeness. When completed in 2030, it will have a thirty meter diameter objective mirror and produce images with an angular resolution twelve times higher than the legendary Hubble Space Telescope at similar light.
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is expected to be the largest optical telescope in the world.
