  • Telescope interferometric maintenance evaluation tool
    Patent number: 7777888
    Abstract: A system and method for testing telescope optics are disclosed. The telescope optics can be testing in-situ, thus more accurately revealing the as-used optical conditions. The optical conditions are input to a test system which, by objective analysis, reveals a condition of the optics and an indication of the need for corrective action. A test bench for testing optics and for validating the test system using modeled telescope optics is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2010
    Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.
    Inventors: Kenneth Howard Marshall, Paul TH Currie, Joseph Salg, Joseph B. Houston, James Harvey
