Scientific paper

The present conference discusses the support structure for the optics of the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT), cophasing and coaligning the MMT, the 11.3-m optical telescope of the Columbus project, CAD techniques for a space-based optical system, solid optics for small and complex optical systems, and optical path-length calculations using finite elements. Also discussed are optomechanical analysis strategies, active vibration suppression methods for a large optical system, a conceptual design for the active control of a large optical system, the flexural rigidity characteristics of lightweight mirrors, the structural analysis of a lightweight aluminum foam core mirror, and the response of large optical mirrors to thermal distributions.
