The W. M. Keck Observatory Segment Repair Project is repairing stress-induced fractures near the support points in the primary mirror segments. The cracks are believed to result from deficiencies in the original design and implementation of the adhes

Over the last several years the primary mirror cell systems for the Large Binocular Telescope have been upgraded to improve on-sky performance and observing efficiency. We describe improvements made to the support actuators and mirror positioning sys

After several years of operation the enclosure rotation system of the LBT is exhibiting wear and other performance issues that may impact operations. This paper reviews the system design and assumptions used, describes the current performance and obs

We describe the design and performance of an improved hardpoint for the primary mirror cell of the Large Binocular Telescope. Six hardpoints define the position and orientation of the primary mirror and are key elements of the active optics system. A

This paper describes a random vibration, finite element analysis (FEA), performed on the Gemini Laser Launch Telescope (LLT) using ANSYS. A highly detailed model, originally created for static analysis, served as a baseline model but required extensi

EOS Technologies has completed four 1.8m telescopes that are to be used in the NASA/JPL Interferometer. The 1.8m telescopes (Outriggers) will form the workhorse of the interferometric system. This paper presents some of the performance data obtained

Telescope mount models correct telescope pointing by compensating for repeatable errors. Geometric misalignments and manufacturing errors account for most of the repeatable variation. The pointing performance of a telescope depends strongly on the ab

In the year 2000, EOS Technologies, Inc. of Tucson, Arizona will complete six two-meter class telescopes for astronomy. Applications for these telescopes range from monitoring of active-galactic nuclei to the search for extra-solar planets. Four of t

We describe the active support system and optimization of support forces for a 3.5-m honeycomb sandwich mirror. The optimization was based on interferometric figure measurements made in a vibration-isolated test tower. We obtained actuator influence
