Abstract

GeMS was the first laser-assisted Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system to operate in the sky, and for over a decade it has been used with the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) to deliver wide-field AO-corrected data to the observatory scientific community. An effort is underway to improve GeMS in several aspects, making it a more reliable system to operate and with the ultimate goal to turn it into a broader AO facility, capable of also feeding other instruments. Its current status of operations and development plans, as well as the ongoing work on non-common path aberrations calibrations, a necessary step for its integration with Flamingos-2 operations, are addressed here.
