Methodology

Scientific paper

The "phase A" of the opto-mechanical design, which started in 1997, is now basically completed. It provides a clean, symmetrical geometry of the pupil, with a near-circular outer edge. The modular design of the mechanical structure is built on the size of the hexagonal segments, provides a perfect match with the optical elements and allows production at reasonable costs. This paper is a summary of the various design iterations. A discussion is devoted to the evaluation of the design assumptions and principles which have been set at the beginning of the study, and to their validity after the completion of this first phase. This includes a discussion about specific aspects whose criticality had been under- or overestimated, and the methodology applied to define system and sub-system requirements. Finally, we present a summary of the present and future activities, which are mainly devoted to sub-systems definition.
