EUCLID’s very large telescope ALIGNMENT
Abstract
Euclid is a part of the European Space Agency Cosmic Vision Medium Class program. This mission’s goal is to investigate the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity by observing the geometry of the Universe and the formation of structures over cosmological timescales. Euclid Payload Module (PLM) includes a large TMA Korsch telescope in Silicon Carbide (SiC), feeding a visible imager (VIS) and a near-infrared spectrometer and photometer (NISP). Both instruments are mounted at their respective focal plane position.
