2. Before We Begin… Purpose of this meeting is not a design review
Examples to be shown were developed to help evaluate and narrow selection of the enclosure type
After enclosure type is selected:
Design features and specifications to be worked out in detail
Developed concept to be presented at CoDR
Manufacturers (at CoDR) to be involved in next phase of costing, design evaluation & refinement
The meeting today is a workshop
Discussion key!
3. Two major types of enclosures considered for ATST:
Rotating:
Non-CoRotating (e.g., Keck, Gemini, WIYN)
CoRotating (e.g., Subaru, LBT, MMT)
CLEAR-Style
Retractable:
Collapsible (e.g., Starfire, AEOS)
Clamshell (e.g, Faulkes, KPVT, DOT)
Roll-Off (e.g., Sloan Digital Survey)
Two most promising examples selected for closer examination and to help focus the studies and analyses:
“Hybrid” Rotating
Collapsible-type Retractable 2 Enclosure Typesor “To Dome, or not to Dome”
4. “To Dome, or not to Dome” continued…
5. Rotating Enclosure: “Hybrid”(cross between corotating and non-corotating)
6. Retractable Enclosure: “Tin Cup”(manufacturers’ choice for retractable at this scale)
7. Enclosure Concepts (cont.)
8. Highest Priority Trades, Studies Telescope Protection & Performance
Enclosure Shell Seeing (Exterior)
Interior, Structure Seeing
Wind Effects (Wind Shake, Mirror Buffeting)
Scattered and Stray Light Control
Cost and Technical Risk
9. Second-Level Trades Handling and Operations Concerns
Enclosure Footprints, Envelope Sizes
Control System Issues
Safety Concerns
10. Trade Matrix
