This is the first time I’ve seen a detailed technical depiction of this telescope. I’ve read about it but the graphics and video really made the mechanical detail pop.
Adjusting each of those mirrors to its fully calibrated state is going to be like rubbing your tummy, patting your head and whistling a tune at the same time multiplied a zillion in complexity.
The alignment will consist of two primary steps, pointing and focus. Adjust one and the other goes out of adjustment. You go back and forth on the two until specifications are achieved. The first adjustments are fairly course and progressively get finer as you narrow in on the final specification.
I’m sure that computer programming will be used for the courser adjustments but am curious if the human touch will be used to command the final and finest adjustments.
Probably AI......................
It seems to me they could have done a coarse adjustment on Earth.....................
