Scientific paper

The Gemini project is a multi-national effort to build twin 8.1 meter astronomical telescopes utilizing new technology to produce some of the sharpest views of the universe ever. One telescope will be located atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea and the other atop Chile's Cerro Pachon - together they will provide complete unobstructed coverage of both the Northern and Southern skies. This newsletter discusses the progress of the project, such as the dedication ceremony for Gemini North, the expansion of the adaptive optics program, the sharing of the infrared spectrometer at the Keck observatory, and the improvement of the internet support for the Gemini South. Each of the seven countries involved in the project include a brief update. As the opening of the observatories nears, in this issue is a description of the mechanism to submit proposals for the use of the telescope.
