Function

Level and Tolerance

Mount :


Pointing accuracy ...

6 arc seconds p-p.

Receive optics :


Clear aperture ...

76.20-cm (30-inch) aperture,

f:5 telescope system,

f:1.5 primary mirror.

Optical losses ...

48% through coude transmit path.

Performance ...

Better than 80% energy in 5 arc seconds blur over a 5-milliradian field

Coude optics ...

Five independently adjustable mirrors allowing 10.16 cm (4-inch) clear aperture laser transmission from the clean room through the mount axes and toward the target. They are remotely adjustable about two axes and have a tilt resolution of better than 0.1 arc second.
