    GTCAO is the single-conjugate aAdaptive Optics system being developed for the GTC. In its first light it will consist of a natural star system (NGS), which will be upgraded later to an Artificial Laser Guided Star (LGS) system. The system is currently in the final stages of integration and verification (AIV), and it is expected that during 2021 the
