We describe efforts to equip the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) for precision radial velocity (PRV) work. Our current focus is on commissioning the high-stability (HS) mode of the High-Resolution Spectrograph (HRS), the mode intended to supp

Major improvements to the SALT prime focus guidance system have been implemented over the last two years in the form of a new compact, modular and removable system with high optical efficiency. A double-probe positioning system allows both translatio

A threat to all telescopes is possible condensation on its instruments and primary mirror during high humidity conditions. Using too conservative delta dew-point control limits for telescope closure can reduce valuable observing time. SALT recently c

The SALT Building Management System (BMS) was designed to control sub-system cooling and environmental control in the telescope chamber as part of ensuring optimal science data quality. With over 400 inputs and output points for monitoring and contro

The SALT Tracker was originally designed to carry a payload of approximately 1000 kg. The current loading exceeds 1300 kg and more instrumentation, for example, the Near-Infrared (NIR) arm of the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS), is being designed fo

The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) is a 10-m class 91-segment fixed altitude telescope located at Sutherland, South Africa. The segment alignment is maintained by inductively coupled sensors mounted on Sitall brackets beneath the segments. A
