Scientific paper

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project has chosen a reference configuration with the telescope elevation axis above the primary mirror. The TMT telescope design has a segmented primary mirror, with 738 segments, nominally 1.2 m across corners, and it uses an articulated tertiary mirror to feed science light to predefined instrument positions on two large Nasmyth platforms. This paper outlines the development of the telescope structural design to meet the motion requirements related to the image quality error budget. The usage of opto-structural performance evaluation tools such as Merit Function Routine are described in addition with the optimization techniques used during the telescope structure design development.
