A. NOAO is planning to build a compatible AO system for the SOAR telescope and has included this project in its Long Range Plan. The design work for the AO System is nearing completion; NOAO will complete that project subject to its (expected) success at the Preliminary Design Review. NOAO’s SOAR AO plans pre-date the Announcement of Opportunity of the AODP, and are independent of AODP outcomes.
