Light weight Telescope Systems Using Novel Nano-layered Synthesized Material, Year 2
Project Description
Under this project we will design, develop, and fabricate a novel diffractive optical telescope objective. The telescope objective element is based on novel nano-layer synthetic materials. In addition, a telescope for imaging the sun will be developed and tested in the field. The design and performance evaluation along with the experimental results will be summarized in a final report.

Anticipated Benefits
This work is crucial for realizing the Digital Twin of structures made of advanced FRP. The Digital Twin represents a paradigm shift in the operation and maintenance of aerospace vehicles. If successful, the tools developed in this study will be used to virtually design, certify and maintain high-performance structures while improving reliability and decreasing associated costs. The predictive capability of the proposed approach will be evaluated using our novel series of experiments.
