- Abstract
IRAIT (International Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope) is a telescope with an 80 cm aperture, ready for installation at Dome C. Equipped with AMICA (Antarctic Multiband Infrared CAmera), the main focal plane instrument, it will observe in near (1-5 μ) and mid infrared regions (5-28 μ), benefiting from the exceptional site characteristics. The installation will start in December 2007. An overview of interfacing devices and the integration of various IRAIT subsystems are here presented.
