    DAG 4m telescope: assembly, integration and testing
    (SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2018-07-06) Pirnay, Olivier; Lousberg, Grégory P.; Gabriel, Eric; Marchiori, Gianpietro; Busatta, Andrea; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
    AMOS with EIE as a main subcontractor, was awarded a contract in November 2014 for the design, manufacturing and installation of a 4m-class telescope for the Turkish Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) situated at 3170 m above the sea level in Palandöken mountains. The telescope is based on a Ritchey-Chretien configuration with two folded Nasmyth focal planes and a focal length of 56m. Diffraction-limited performances will be reached thanks to the combination of the active optics system and the adaptive optics system that will be implemented on one of the Nasmyth ports. The active optics system aims at controlling the shape of the primary mirror by means of 66 axial force actuators and positioning actively the secondary and tertiary mirrors by means of hexapods. More than 30 years of experience in testing instruments and telescopes, including optical testing, alignment, metrology, mechanical static and dynamic measurements, system identification, etc. allow to implement an adequate verification strategy combining component level verifications with factory and site test in the most efficient and reliable manner. As a main contractor, AMOS is in charge of the overall project management, the system engineering, the optical design and the active optics development. As a main sub-contractor and partner of AMOS, EIE is in charge of the development of the mount. The factory test therefore takes place in EIE premises. In this paper is shortly presented the overall design of the telescope with a review of the specification, the optical design and a description of the major sub-systems, including the optics. The assembly, integration et test plan is outlined. The assembly sequence and the tests of the active optics and the mount are discussed. Finally, the site integration and tests are explained. The process to assess the image quality of the telescope and the verification instrument developed for this purpose by AMOS are presented.

    DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gozlemevi) telescope mount performances
    (SPIE, 2024) Marchiori, Gianpietro; Rampini, Francesco; Amalfi, Manfredi; Bressan, Riccardo; Ghedin, Leonardo; Battistel, Cristina; Manfrin, Cristiana; Vio, L.; Niero, Tiziano; Marchiori, Tommaso; Pirnay, Olivier; Gabriel, Eric; Méant, Laurence; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
    The DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) Eastern Anatolia Observatory is an astronomical project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Atatürk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATASAM). DAG Observatory is provided with a 4m-class optical and infrared telescope, equipped with secondary (0.76m) and tertiary mirrors which furnish the telescope with two Nasmyth foci. Since 2015, the project has seen the crucial contribution of EIE GROUP in the Design, Production and on-site Installation of the mount structure of the 4m class optical/near-infrared telescope (DAG Telescope) in contract with AMOS company. EIE GROUP is also the main contractor of the 18.6m-diameter Rotating Building (DAG Dome) at an altitude of 3170m asl on the Erzurum Plateau, Turkey. After completing a full assembly and testing in the factory, the telescope was subsequently disassembled and transported to the final installation site. Now, on-site assembly activities have been completed, and all internal acceptance tests regarding the mount structure have been conducted. This document focuses on the on-site assembly activities of the EIE Group, as well as the related internal pre-commissioning, commissioning, and functional and acceptance tests.
