(spectrograph on the GMT)

G-CLEF (for GMT - CfA Large Earth Finder or GMT-consortium Large Earth Finder) is a visible light spectrograph planned for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) suitable for general purposes, but aimed at the study of extra-solar planets, e.g., determining radial velocities and studying atmospheres through transmission spectroscopy. GMT is currently projected to see first light in 2029, and G-CLEF is to be one of its initial set of science instruments, thus should see first light after that.
