TMT.OPT.PRE REL01 HPS – Volume-7 – October – Slide 15 SUMMARY Summary & Future Plans

TMT.OPT.PRE REL01 HPS – Volume-7 – October – Slide 16 Where We Are We have a mature Preliminary Design We do not have a finished Preliminary Design Several details to complete –Balance of whiffletrees & correcting moment implementation –Resolve optical performance issue or decide performance acceptable as is –Fine tune sheet flexures –Resolve 35 Hz and Mass Budget deficiencies or work to new requirements Could proceed with MSA portion of prototypes and let Fixed Frame design catch-up –Adhesive selection needs review –Final material selection review –Produce detailed drawings –Crane/Talon/Segment/Jack integration needs refinement

TMT.OPT.PRE REL01 HPS – Volume-7 – October – Slide 17 Where We’re Going Future Tasks: –Finalize Preliminary Design –Update dimensions affected by segmentation Nominal AAP location (hole in fixed frame) a few mm change from current CAD model –Release P1-SSA Prototype Drawings –Begin P1-SSA Procurement –Begin component test procurement –Prepare Test Plans –Design and Fabricate Test fixtures –Procure Data acquisition and Motion Control system for WH testing –Define metrology equipment for P1-SSA testing Determine cost and lead time Rent equipment, or contract with consultant –If required, the addition of passive damping will be a major undertaking Could be phased in to maintain Polishing Development schedule

TMT.OPT.PRE REL01 HPS – Volume-7 – October – Slide 18 Technical Risks Technical RiskRisk Reduction Verifying optical performance predictions. Applies to Gravity, Thermal, and Warping Harness performance. Optical testing of P2-SSA prototype. Optical effect of manufacturing tolerances and assembly errors. Perform analysis to determine sensitivities. Include in the PSS analysis/budget. Difficult to reach the 35 Hz requirements. Costly in terms of mass, material, and Engineering. Relax the 35 Hz frequency requirement. Mass estimates exceed the budget.Adjust mass budget and/or 35 Hz requirement. Adhesive selection and bond performance characterization are a concern. The baseline (EA2216) has a high CTE and a high Modulus at low temperature. Causes excess distortion and stress. May be fine, but deserves review. Find a low modulus, low CTE adhesive with heritage and test data relevant to our application. Verifying performance of Alignment and Registration systems. Prototype testing will help resolve. Manufacturing tolerances as related to the Alignment, Gap and Jacking budgets Complete the P1-SSA drawings and build hardware. Manufacture of many thin and slender parts. Distortion and dimensional control important. Prototype production will clarify issues.
