MOONS (Multi-Objects Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph) is a new concept for an astronomical spectrograph. It has been selected by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in response to a call for proposals for the study of new instruments.

The MOONS design consists of two identical cryogenic spectrographs. This requirement is for the design, manufacture and delivery of two collimator mirrors that form part of the spectrograph sub-systems. The specification document defines the parameters of the collimator mirrors and the necessary acceptance tests
