  5. Key Features of SOT • Largest telescope ever built to observe the Sun from space • Diffraction-limited images (0.2-0.3arcsec), achieved by 50-cm-diameter aperture • Observation from space, free from the atmospheric seeing. • Continuous observation for 24 hours per day in ~8 months per year, thanks to the sun-synchronous orbit of HINODE • Stabilized image with the correlation tracker • 388-668nm range, including spectral lines and continuums useful for studying photosphere and chromosphere • Optimized for high precession polarization measurements in spectral lines, continuous modulation of Stokes IQUV in every 0.8sec. • Provides accurate vector magnetic fields in the photosphere.

OTA flight model integration clinometer Vertical meter Target mirror Reference flat Alignment cube M2 Dummy OBU OTA Rotation mechanism Interferometer MiniFiz M1 Six axis stage Telescope Up Optical bench • OTA is integrated on a dedicated tower. • Interferometoric measurement is performed with f60cm reference flat at the top of tower. • OTA can be upside top and upside down to cancel gravity.

  11. Example of WFE map Average of upside top and upside down gives the Zero-G WFE Gravitational deformation of OTA optics ~ l/20 rms @633nm
