Abstract

PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph) is a next generation facility instruments on the Subaru telescope. 2394 reconfigurable fibers will be distributed in the 1.3 degree field of view, and the spectrograph has 3 arms (blue, red, and near-infrared) to simultaneously observe spectra from 380nm to 1260nm in one exposure. In 2018, Metrology Camera System was delivered to the observatory and successfully tested on the telescope. Now in Nov 2019 the first spectrograph module with visible cameras is being shipped to Hawaii. The other subsystems are actively being developed to start on-sky engineering observation in 2020, and science operation in 2022. In this contribution, an overview of the current status and future perspectives will be presented.
