Scientific paper

The key features of the telescope are its homologous structure, designed to minimize the effects of gravitational deformations, the use of an enclosure to reduce wind forces and thermal disturbances, the fabrication of the panels by replication from highly accurate moulds and the setting of the surface using a laser measuring machine. The continuing experimental and analytical work in all of these areas has provided a high degree of confidence that the specified surface accuracy of 50 microns rms will be achieved under all observing conditions and that the goal of 35 microns rms will be reached in favourable circumstances.
