The 3.67 m Advanced Electro Optical System Telescope is a Department of Defense telescope at Haleakala Observatory. The telescope is part of the Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC), which in turn is part of the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site (AMOS). AEOS is equipped with an adaptive optics system, the heart of which is a 941-actuator deformable mirror that can change its shape to remove the atmosphere's distorting effects. Scientists are expected to get near diffraction-limited images of space objects.

  • The 3.67 m Advanced Electro Optical System Telescope is a Department of Defense telescope at Haleakala Observatory. The telescope is part of the Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC), which in turn is part of the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site (AMOS). The 3.67-meter telescope, known as the Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS), owned by the Department of Defense, is the United States' largest optical telescope designed for tracking satellites. The 75-ton AEOS telescope points and tracks very accurately, yet is fast enough to track both low-Earth satellites and ballistic missiles. It can slew at nearly 20 degrees per second. It is an f/200 and has an extremely narrow field of view. AEOS can be used simultaneously by many groups or institutions because its light can be channeled through a series of mirrors to seven independent coudé rooms below the telescope. Employing sophisticated sensors that include an adaptive optics system, radiometer, spectrograph, and long-wave infrared imager, the telescope tracks man-made objects in deep space and performs space object identification data collection. AEOS is equipped with an adaptive optics system, the heart of which is a 941-actuator deformable mirror that can change its shape to remove the atmosphere's distorting effects. Scientists are expected to get near diffraction-limited images of space objects. (en)
  • Le 3.67 m Advanced Electro Optical System Telescope est un télescope du Département de la Défense des États-Unis situé à l'observatoire du Haleakalā. Le télescope fait partie du complexe de surveillance spatiale de Maui (MSSC), qui lui même est un sous-ensemble du Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site (AMOS). Le télescope de 3,67 mètres de diamètre, appelé Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS), propriété du Département de la Défense, est le plus grand télescope optique des États-Unis conçu pour suivre les satellites. Le télescope AEOS de 75 tonnes pointe et suit très précisément sa cible, et est néanmoins assez rapide pour suivre des satellites en orbite basse ou des missiles balistiques. Il peut tourner jusqu'à presque 20 degrés per seconde. Son rapport focale/diamètre est de f/200 et il a un champ de vue extrêmement étroit. AEOS peut être utilisé simultanément par plusieurs groupes ou institutions car sa lumière peut être dirigée par une série de miroirs vers sept chambres coudées indépendantes situées sous le télescope. Utilisant des capteurs et systèmes sophistiqués qui comprennent un système d'optique adaptive, un radiomètre, un spectrographe et un imageur en infrarouge lointain, le télescope suit des objets artificiels de l'espace profond et permet l'identification des objets spatiaux. AEOS est équipé d'un système d'optique adaptative, dont la pièce principale est un miroir déformable comportant 941 actuateurs qui peuvent modifier sa forme pour éliminer les effets de distorsion causés par l'atmosphère. Les scientifiques s'attendent à obtenir des images quasi-limitées par la diffraction des objets spatiaux. (fr)
