Descripción
Additive Manufacturing (AM; 3D printing) for mirror fabrication allows for intricate designs that can combine lightweight structures and integrated mounting. Conventional lightweight structures utilise cubic or prismatic unit cells, which do not provide uniform support at the edge of curved mirrors. We present a new circular lattice based upon cylindrical coordinates and how this lattice has been incorporated within an 80 mm diameter mirror intended for use in a 3U CubeSat telescope. Several design iterations are explored, which include prototype mirrors produced in a titanium alloy and a finite element analysis of the one of the design iterations.

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In
