| Popis: | We designed and built a novel model of a deployed space telescope which can reliably align its segments to achieve the finest possible resolution. An asymmetric design of both the segment shapes and their pupil locations were tested in simulation and experiment. We optimised the sparse aperture for better spatial frequency coverage and for smoother images with less artifacts. The unique segment shapes allow for an easier identification and alignment, and the feedback is based only upon the focal image. The autonomous alignment and fine tuning are governed by mechanical simplicity and reliability. Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1912.00709 |
