Abstract

METIS, the Mid-infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrometer, is being designed for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and is currently expected to arrive at the telescope early 2028. As part of the design of the instrument, we are developing the Assembly, Integration and Verification strategy for METIS. Although the sub-systems will be largely qualified at their respective institutes, only once all components come together at system level will it be possible to verify all the interfaces, full system thermal characteristics and full instrument performance. Although one of the smaller instruments for the ELT, the fully integrated METIS will still be more than 7 meters high, with a footprint in excess of 15 square meters and a weight of the order of 10 tons. This paper describes the system level assembly, integration and verification of METIS, both in Europe as well as once delivered to the telescope.
