Thursday, February 23, 2012 CCAT has awarded a development contract to Lightworks LLC for the design and fabrication of precision edge sensors. These edge sensors measure the relative displacement between a surface segment and its neighbors. These displacement measurements can be used by the surface control system to correct for thermal and gravitational displacement of the primary mirror support truss. |
