Active deployable primary mirrors on CubeSat
Noah Schwartz, Maria Milanova, William Brzozowski +9
The volume available on small satellites restricts the size of optical apertures to a few centimetres, limiting the Ground-Sampling Distance (GSD) in the visible to typically 3 m a…
Laboratory Demonstration of an Active Optics System for High-Resolution Deployable CubeSat
Noah Schwartz, David Pearson, Stephen Todd +8
In this paper we present HighRes: a laboratory demonstration of a 3U CubeSat with a deployable primary mirror that has the potential of achieving high-resolution imaging for Earth…
Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
Updated optical design and trade-off study for MOONS, the Multi-Object Optical and Near Infrared spectrometer for the VLT
E. Oliva, S. Todd, M. Cirasuolo +13
This paper presents the latest optical design for the MOONS triple-arm spectrographs. MOONS will be a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph and will be installed on o…
MOONS: a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the VLT
M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso, R. Bender +77
MOONS is a new conceptual design for a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), selected by ESO for a Phase A study. The baseline des…
