Summary Summary
• Transfer telescope design from Autocad to Solidworks for weight analysis
• Perform sag analysis on mirrors using Cosmos
• Very the structure and material properties, and reanalyze and comparer results
• System is still a work in progress• Specify acceptable error• More mirrors• More telescopes• Always room for improvement
