From 2004 to 2010, approximately 8 % of MMT observing time was made accessible to the entire astronomical community via the US National Science Foundation's Telescope System Instrumentation Program ( TSIP ), administered by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ).

It was dedicated in 2004 and is managed by NOAO for an international consortium of which NOAO is a partner.

An adaptive secondary mirror is being developed by NOAO for Gemini ; this would provide reasonable adaptive-optics corrections ( equivalent to natural seeing at the 20th-percentile level 80 % of the time ) to all instruments on the telescope to which it is attached.

It will share operational infrastructure with Gemini, SOAR, and NOAO, both on the mountain and in La Serena.

Over the years, AURA expanded its focus to include Solar Astronomy and the Gemini 8-meter telescopes, going on to partner with other consortia such as WIYN ( Wisconsin Indiana Yale & NOAO ) and SOAR ( Southern Astrophysical Research ).

The organization is responsible for the operation of several important observatories, known as " AURA centers ": the Gemini Observatory ; the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ); the National Solar Observatory ( NSO ); the Space Telescope Science Institute ( STScI ); and the AURA Observatory ( AURA-O ).

The observatory is administered by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ).

* National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO )-AURA operates NOAO telescopes at Kitt Peak in Arizona and Cerro Tololo in Chile.

It was commissioned in 2003, and is operated by a consortium including the countries of Brazil and Chile, Michigan State University, the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory ( CTIO ) ( part of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, NOAO ), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

There are many packages available by NOAO and external developers often focusing on a particular branch of research or facility.

NOAO seems to have made no effort to clarify this situation, open-source developers concerned with license issues have made no effort to correct this on their own, and so efforts to package the software for drop-in installation in GNU / Linux systems have lapsed.

In March 2012, NOAO released v2. 16 of IRAF, citing one of the " new capabilities " as " Removal of all license restrictions-IRAF is now free ".

* NICI ( Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager ), built by the University of Hawaii and NOAO.

However, professional astronomers from any country in the world may apply to use the telescopes operated by NOAO under the NSF's " open skies " policy.

The combination of truly open access and the merit based science proposal process makes NOAO unique in the world.

The NOAO is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy ( AURA ), under a cooperative agreement with the NSF.

NOAO operates world class research telescopes in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

NOAO is a founding partner in the LSST project.

During this phase, NOAO is responsible for design & development of the LSST telescope system and site facilities.

NOAO continues to work on behalf of the community to effectively shape the System and gain steady, state-of-the-art research capabilities of all apertures for open, merit based science.

NOAO is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy ( AURA ), which owns the property around the two peaks in Chile and at the headquarters in La Serena.
