3 Overview Benefits of a fast-steering secondary mirror (FSSM) FSSM system diagram Optical bench set-up Actuator analysis System parameters and implementation of design

4 Conventional fast-steering mirror technology is placed downstream from telescope FSM Atmospheric turbulence and mechanical jitter results in the loss of resolution in imagery Adaptive optics needed for correction Microscopic: Deformable mirror Macroscopic: Fast-steering mirror Tip-tilt easiest to correct, yet provides substantial return in image quality

5 Why use fast-steering mirrors at the secondary mirror position? Advanced technologies such as ultra light- weighted SiC allow for FSSM Benefits of having a fast-steering secondary mirror: 1. Tilt correction at the secondary keeps FSM close-coupled to the pupil 2. Simplified adaptive optics system; eliminates need for a pupil relay 3. Reduces need for another mirror surface FSSM

6 Understand closed-loop FSSM system Hands-on hardware integration Actuator trade study Obtain product information from vendors Using system parameters, down-select from vendor products Goals
