  8. Conceptual Design Analysis Overview • IRMS Weight Estimate: 13,000 lbs. (5,909 kg.) • Instrument: 5,500 lbs. (2,500 kg.) • Rotator Module: 2,500 lbs. (1,136 kg.) • Support Structure: 5,000 lbs. (2,273 kg.) • Support Structure FEA Results Summary (FEA report at: http://www.oir.caltech.edu/twiki_oir/bin/view/TMT/IRMS/ObservatoryInterfaces) • Static vertical load Safety Factor = 5.6 (yield strength) • 1g lateral load minimum Safety Factor = 3.6 (yield strength) • 1st Natural frequency of support structure (only) = 53.3 Hz • The static vertical load translated through the hexapod legs creates a maximum lateral radial load in the NFIRAOS structure = ~10,600 lbs. (4,818 kg.) tension.
