Scientific paper

The 30-meter millimeter-wavelength radio telescope being constructed at 2900 m altitude in the Spanish Sierra Nevada is discussed. The main reflector is planned to achieve greater than 0.1 mm rms accuracy, and the directional error can be no greater than two arcsec. Despite these requirements and the often harsh environmental conditions, an outdoor telescope is envisioned. Various proposed designs that vary parameters such as stiffness, homology, and pivoting ability are discussed and depicted. The engineering aspects of the telescope parts are discussed in detail, including the foundation, tower, azimuthal part, pedestal, main reflector, subreflector, primary focus, drive system, and controller.
