The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) is an advanced telescope equipped with a 30-meter segmented primary mirror, designed to be an exceptional tool for exploring the wonders of the universe in the northern hemisphere. With its impressive primary mirror, the TIO surpasses the capabilities of even the JWST(x4) and Hubble telescopes (x12), delivering remarkably clear images. When operational, the TIO will unlock new frontiers in astronomy and astrophysics, enabling us to delve into the intricacies of star and planet formation, unravel the mysteries of galaxy history, and deepen our understanding of the structure of the universe.

In this presentation, we will explore the future prospects of TIO development, focusing on the engineering approach that will ensure its successful performance, functionality, and ease of maintenance. Our aim is to create a system that is on performance, feasible to produce, and straightforward to maintain, while minimizing potential risks. 

We will also discuss the ongoing evolution of our engineering approach, continuously improving our methods to maximize efficiency and simplicity.
