The Instituto de Astronomía, of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, after an internal licitation, determined to design and manufacture a Medium Resolution Optical Spectrograph. The instrument will be attached to the 2.1 m telescope at the National Astronomical Observatory at San Pedro Mártir, México. The project was granted to the ESOPO group, winner of the call for proposals. The basic purpose of the project is to equip the observatory with a modern and more efficient spectrograph. Its main goal is to solve astronomical problems that require an ample optical range with a spectral resolution between 500 and 5000. These projects include observations of extended stellar objects, external galaxies, and stars inside our galaxy. In this work we present the scientific goals of ESOPO spectrograph, its translation to high level requirements, its optical design as well as its mechanical design and optomechanics for 24 lenses. The error budget for image quality and motion are included. Finally, management, organization, and first light date of the project are described.
