Abstract
The transition from construction to operations of the Thirty-Meter-Telescope (TMT) will happen over a phase of "early-operations” that will last several years to encompass the technical and science commissioning of its main systems, and will conclude when the facility enters "steady-state operations” (early 2030s according to the current schedule). In this talk, we will present the current plan for technical and scientific operations of the Thirty-Meter-Telescope, including a description of its organizational structure, staffing and day-to-day activities. TMT's science operations model will be aimed at optimizing the science impact of the TMT and its operations efficiency, while providing a high-level of support to TMT users over all phases (submission, implementation and (post-)execution) of their science programs.
