You&#x27;re right. I misspoke a bit; I mean all this type of work is Mauna Kea specific:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tmt.org&#x2F;documents" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tmt.org&#x2F;documents</a><p>Preliminary work on pipelines relating to the optics, PSFs, band throughputs, etc are simulated with Mauna Kea in mind.<p>Then that affects the possible science cases. And &quot;survey strategy&quot; at this point would mean allocation of time to contributors which is based on how much money they want to give for their projects by taking those prior simulations into account.<p>Perhaps the instrument isn&#x27;t that specialized, but the project kind of is. TMT on Mauna Kea is essentially a completely different telescope from TMT at Apache Point.
