Abstract

In mid-2025, the initial sub-systems for METIS, the Mid-Infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrometer, are anticipated to reach the system-level Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) facility at Leiden University. The AIT process is projected to extend over three years. Throughout this period, the comprehensive testing and calibration of the entire METIS system will be conducted. The preparation for integration encompasses diverse aspects, including the planning of various assembly, integration, and verification steps. This involves the development of the integration facility, provision of support equipment, and ensuring the readiness of all requisite software to facilitate the instrument's efficient qualification. As subsystems are nearing completion, also the AIT facility is being finalized, with an expected delivery date of end-July 2024.
