Scientific paper

The 8 meter unit telescopes of the ESO very large telescope (VLT) will have primary mirrors of the solid thin meniscus type. Presently various different options concerning material and thickness are still under consideration for the production of the mirror blanks. This paper describes the performance analysis of a glass ceramic mirror with a thickness of 200 mm. This mirror is supported by a functionally separated axial and radial support system. The results of the analytical assessment of the mirror performance under those loading conditions are discussed.
