Abstract
MOSAIC is the Multi-Object Spectrograph for the ESO Extremely Large Telescope, approved to enter Phase B beginning 2022. It is conceived as a multi- purpose instrument covering the Visible and Near Infrared bandwidth (0.45 –1.8 μm) with two observing modes: spatially resolved spectroscopy with 8 integral field units; and the simultaneous observation of 200 objects in the VIS and NIR in unresolved spectroscopy. We present an overview of the main MOSAIC science drivers and the actual baseline design for the instrument. The prototyping and developments undertaken by the consortium to evaluate the feasibility of the project are also discussed.
