Phasing of Elements of a Primary Mirror of AST-10

Abstract

It is pertinent to note that the applications of adaptive optics (AO) for implementation of the total potential of such a high-power telescope as AST-10 imposes heavy demands on the quality of production, adjustment and phasing of a primary mirror (PM). The atmospheric turbulence was a controlling factor of the image quality for previous generations of telescopes.
