Reflecting telescope active mirror systems require not only the usual attention to servocontrol performance, but also the simultaneous control of the many parallel channels that can interact with one another. The data rates involved are such as to overwhelm conventional digital processors, so that specially-designed, hardwired digital or analog control systems are required. While current mirrors have dozens to hundreds of mirror control channels, future mirrors are projected to have tens of thousands. Attention is presently given to the results obtained with a 57-channel active mirror system for the removal of atmospheric aberrations from solar images.
