Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for correcting optical defects of a telescope mirror, compatible with use in a space environment, is provided, where the criteria of weight, reliability, service life, cost and resistance to extreme temperatures are fundamental. The device comprises at least one controllable-length element, means for controlling the length of this element, this element being connected to the mirror by its ends in zones that are diametrically or diagonally opposed and close to the periphery of this mirror, the connection between the controllable-length element and the mirror comprising attachments that are rigid on the axis joining these two attachment zones and flexible in the other degrees of freedom.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A telescope mirror comprising a device for modifying a shape of an optical surface of the mirror by acting on an astigmatism or a radius of curvature of the mirror, said device comprising: at least one controllable-length element, means for controlling a length of the controllable-length element, the controllable-length element being connected to the optical surface by respective ends in attachment zones that are diametrically or diagonally opposed and clo…
