Topology Optimization of a Single-Point Diamond-Turning Fixture for a Deployable Primary Mirror Telescope

CubeSats, known for their compact size and cost effectiveness, have gained significant popularity. However, their limited size imposes restrictions on the optical aperture and, consequently, the Ground Resolution Distance in Earth Observation missions. To overcome this limitation, the concept of dep...
