1 MOSFIRE is a Multi-Object Spectrometer for the Near Infra-Red (wavelengths ~ μm) We are deep in the component fabrication and procurement phase. Optics: Good progress at COSI, UCO, and other suppliers Mechanical & Facilities: –Lots of fabrication complete and in-process at Caltech/UCLA shops as well as outside shops for larger components such as dewar, structure. –Clean room installed in Synchrotron high bay –Test & Build Stand fabrication complete Software: good progress; waiting for hardware Electronics: ramping up, EE UCLA 1 st Cold Test in planned for May 5, 2008
