A segmented primary mirror control system was developed for use in the proposed University of California ten meter optical telescope. The general design goals for a displacement sensor and position actuator are listed. A sensor and actuator which were built are described with some test results. A brief senario is given of how these two units would be incorporated into a primary mirror. (ERA citation 05:027646)
