Lateral constraint for thin glass shell: analysis of the requirements and conceptual design for a segmented active mirror

Marcello Agostino Scalera, Runa Briguglio, Ciro Del Vecchio +2

The latest high-performance telescopes for deep space observation employ very large primary mirrors that are made of smaller segments, like the JWST which employs monolithic beryll…
