N1 - Funding Information:
The funding for this planning and design phase of the TSPM project has been generously supported in Mexico by the IA-UNAM, INAOE, and especially the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología through grants LN 127736, LN 232649, LN 260369, LN 271117, LN 280035, LN 294763, 224003, 264173, 272027, 279517, 293074 and the Agencia Espacial Mexicana who contributed to grant 248500. We gratefully acknowledge the Giant Magellan Telescope for permitting the TSPM project to adopt its control system as our model. We thank personnel at the MMT and Magellan telescopes for making information available.

N2 - The Telescopio San Pedro Martir project intends to construct a 6.5m telescope to be installed at the Observatorio Astrońomico Nacional in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir in northern Baja California, Mexico. The project is an association of Mexican institutions, lead by the Instituto Nacional de Astroflsica, Optica y Electronica and UNAM's Instituto de Astronomia, in partnership with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the University of Arizona's Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory. The project is advancing through the design stage, having completed five design reviews of different subsystems in 2016 and 2017 (enclosure and services: PDR, CDR; optical design: PDR; optics: progress review; telescope: PDR). Once completed, the partners plan to operate the MMT and TSPM as a binational astrophysical observatory.
