The Large Tank Manipulator (LTM) is one of the key components of the calibration facility at the Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley. The facility has been built to calibrate the NASA Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite. The robotics system features four axes of movement, with 0.76 m of linear motion (horizontal and vertical) and +/-20 degrees of movement of rotary motion (pitch and yaw). The LTM is designed to manipulate payloads of up to 450 kg in a high-vacuum environment (1×10-6 Torr). The system, located inside the largest of the calibration facility's three vacuum chambers, is accessed from a class 10,000 clean room. The LTM will calibrate each of the four telescopes on the EUVE satellite with respect to a fixed beam line of UV light, between 44 and 2600 A˚, generated by a monochromator.
