NAOS is the adaptive optics system to be installed at one of the Nasmyth foci of the very large telescope (VLT). It will provide compensated image to the high angular resolution IR spectro-imaging camera which covers the 1-5 micrometers spectral bands. our French consortium is the sub-contractor of ESO for the design, manufacturing, integration and test of NAOS. For bright sources, the specification is to reach 70 percent Strehl ratio under average seeing conditions. Two wavefront sensors, one in the visible spectral range and one in the near IR spectral range, will equip the adaptive optics system. We foresee to obtained the first light at the VLT unit telescope 1 in mid-2000.
