Mirrors:Support Systems

Scientific paper

Several different types of passive support systems, suitable for a thin meniscus type mirror in a 3-metre optical telescope, were investigated. A thin F/2 primary mirror with a diameter-to-thickness ratio of 25, as compared to the usual 6 to 8 ratio, is proposed. Comparisons on the advantages and disadvantages of using pneumatic supports, counterweighted lever supports and hydraulic supports for the axial support mode were made.
