The approach is to use foundational materials science, structural design, thermal analysis, optic fabrication, and space systems engineering, and to use optimize them through large-scale simulation to realize meter-scale telescopes at 10X cost reduction. LLNL’s folded Gregorian design integrates all alignment sensitive components into one static monolithic system. Like solid-…
