Timeline
The NIFS proposal was presented to the Gemini Instrument Forum at its March 1999 meeting. That committee recommended that the NIFS Conceptual Design Study should proceed. The Gemini Science Committee endorsed this recommendation at its April 1999 meeting. Subsequently, the Gemini Board approved the conceptual design study at its May 1999 meeting. The conceptual design study is expected to take until January 2000. At that point, the Gemini Board will decide whether NIFS proceeds to construction. If it does further design, construction, and commissioning is expected to take until the end of 2002 when the instrument will become available to the Gemini community.
