Active optics simulation system
Abstract
The active optics simulation system (AOSS) is a set of computer programs and associated software to be used in the development, design, and evaluation of a primary mirror control system for a large space telescope, (e.g., the tentatively proposed 3-meter telescope). The mathematical models of component subsystems and the solution of the physical processes that occur within the mirror surface control system were obtained, and based on these models AOSS simulates the behavior of the entire mirror surface control system as well as the behavior of the component subsystems. The program has a modular structure so that any subsystem module can be replaced or modified with minimum disruption of the rest of the simulation program.
