Engineers of the company Vertex in collaboration with astronomers of the Astronomy Department (AIRUB) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany developed a concept for a revolutionary design of telescopes which is called the Hexapod-Telescope (HPT). Instead of the classical mounting using two axles, the mirror is supported by six extendable struts (hexapod). This configuration allows moving the telescope in all six spatial degrees of freedom and also provides a strong structural integrity… (More on Hexapod-telescope)
