Scientific paper

Although natural guide star operation of the NAOMI adaptive optics system is now well established, the limited sky coverage for higher order operation has proven a serious limiting factor in its science use. For that reason in 2004 a project was embarked upon to develop a facility class general purpose Rayleigh laser beacon system. The project acronym, GLAS, stands for Ground-layer Laser Adaptive optics System. The overall scientific aim of the GLAS project is to drastically improve the sky coverage for high-order adaptive optics.
