Performance

Scientific paper

The baseline concept for the OWL mechanical structure is further developed and studied on the basis of the `six mirrors optical concept'. The primary mirror supporting structure is elaborated in deeper detail, the impact on the design of using lightweight mirrors is analyzed and also a trade-off among the so-called iso-static and hyper-static configurations is discussed. The performance of the telescope under seismic and wind survival load cases is analyzed.
