Telescopes as mechatronic systems

Abstract

The system design of telescopes is usually dominated by the aspects of the optics and receiving instruments. The telescope structure, mechanism, and control are "only" aids to position these elements toward the celestial target, but their quality has a big impact on the final performance. This paper describes an integrated design approach to these "mechatronic" telescope subsystems.
