Assembly of a large modular optical telescope (ALMOST)
Future space telescope programs need to assess in-space robotic assembly of large apertures at GEO and ESL2 to support ever increasing aperture sizes. Since such large apertures will not fit within a fairing, they must rely on robotic assembly/deployment. Proper assessment requires hardware-in-the-l...
