Descripción
The GTC Dome is entering into manufacture. Once the design has been
frozen, it is time to expose the main features of the Dome and to
exhibit the key aspects that will introduce an improvement on the GTC
performance with respect to existing telescopes. The implementation of
the natural ventilation for the telescope chamber, the use of an
improved classical up-and-over shutter or the use of dome shell
ventilation are described along the paper, as well as other features
that have been laid-out to be absolutely ready to be `switch-on' after
day one.
