Domes: Vlt

Scientific paper

In its search for simpler, cheaper but reliable enclosure solutions, ESO has come to the proposal of inflatable domes for the VLT project. Having performed some intial studies which showed the advantages and the feasibility of this type of design, ESO has built with French and Dutch contractors a prototype with a diameter of 15 metres, about half the size required to house the single telescopes of the VLT. This will allow to analyse the validity of this in many respects unprecedented design and eventually improve it.
