Primary Mirrors
Primary Mirrors
The primary mirror is designed to have curvature on both vertical and horizontal directions. Horizontal curvature is caused by the folding flaps and mirror mounts. Vertical curvature is caused by mirror mounts.
Secondary Mirror Angle
Secondary Mirror Angle
The secondary mirror is a convex mirror with a radius of curvature around 20cm. The radius of curvature is determined to best gather light and reflect light from the primary mirrors onto the pylon sensor.
The secondary mirror is was finalized utilizing a CNC turning machine. The material utilized was Aluminum and was polished to a mirror finish to achieve the desired reflection of three sets of lasers. As demonstrated in the figure to the right.
Primary Mirror Mount
