Optical Ground Station- OGS
As the main objective of the Division is the development of astrophysical instrumentation, frequently it is required its participation in studies and proposals for the construction of future telescopes. Since the design and construction of the IAC-80 telescope, the Instrumentation Division has contributed to several large telescopes projects

The Carlos Sánchez and IAC80 telescopes, known as TTNN and located in the Teide Observatory, are telescopes manually operated by astronomers (in person or remotely) through specific computer applications developed mostly in the 90's. These applications allow the control of the movement of the telescope (motors and encoders), as well as the
