OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy) was the optical Day One instrum ent for the 10.4m Spanish telescope GTC . It is installed at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos (La Palma, Spain). This instrument has been operational since March -2009 and covers from 360 to 1000 nm. OSIRIS observing modes include direct imaging w ith tunable and conventional filters, long slit and low resolution spectroscopy. OSIRIS wide field of view and high efficiency provide a powerful tool for the scientific exploitation of GTC. OSIRIS was developed by a Consortium formed by the Instituto de A strofisica de Canarias (IAC) and the Instituto de Astronomia de la Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (IA -UNAM). The latter was in charge of the optical design, the manufacture of the camera and collaboration in the assembly, integration and verificat ion process. The IAC was responsible for the remaining design of the instrument and it was the project leader. The present paper considers the development of the instrument from its design to its present situation in which is in use d by the scientific comm unity.
