Antenna's accuracy increased dramatically.
By removing sources of irregular deformations, adding active temperature
control to structural elements, and adding a deformable subreflector,
the Haystack
Antenna in Westford, Massachusetts makes an order-of-magnitude
leap to 100+ GHz.
Landmark telescope enhanced; industry adopts innovations.
New vacuum chamber design circumvents need to remove and transport
mirrors for annual re-aluminizing at the Smithsonian's
Multiple Mirror Telescope. |

Why the Mayor of Columbus knows what rabble arms
are.
When failed sockets shut down the sludge
furnaces in Columbus, Ohio, the City needed a fast remedy.
Achieving antenna surface accuracy to within 1/20th of a millimeter.
Sensors and actuators refine "active surface system" for the Large
Millimeter Telescope planned for central Mexico.
Thirty years of experience in finite element modeling.
