Facilities Construction
On the main reflector surface, the optical alignment targets were being installed on each of the reflector panels. These targets will be used during the precision optical reflector alignment to be carried out over several nights this week. The alignment is done at night to remove any temperature variations caused by sunlight hitting a portion of the reflector surface.
