The most ambitious federal science project ever undertaken used OpticStudio® to create the system that will align the telescope’s primary mirror segments in space.

Learn how:

• OpticStudio was selected to ensure the extremely sensitive and delicate mirror alignment that is critical to the function and mission of the telescope.

• The team used OpticStudio to simulate and test a number of scenarios that could happen in space.

• OpticStudio’s coordinate breaks allowed the optical engineers to effortlessly tilt and decenter elements in the optical model.
