Highlights and Progress(Q4/2007) Mirror approaching completion at SESO Hexapod passed lab test and shipped to LBT
Open Issues M2 mirror still being fabricated, close to completion, barring disaster. Have been unable to test hexapod control with high level software as yet.
Planning • Schedule • Dry run installation of M2 hub in second week of January ‘08. Intend to test-fit and test-run hexapod in-situ on the M2 swing arm, Using the alignment telescope we can check that high-level software commands lead to sensible results. • If M2 is completed by late January, system could be ready for full install in Q1 ‘08
