Mühlviertler Telescopic project: A giant step for astronomy!

Mühlviertel, Österreich - In Austria, Astrosysteme Austria revolutionizes the construction of telescopes and raises astronomy to a new level. As reported orf.at , managing director Döberl has developed the second largest optical telescope worldwide with an ambitious project. This impressive "giant eye", which is manufactured in the Mühlviertel, is one of the 100 largest of its kind and weighs an incredible 16 to 25 tons. In order to produce the required precision optics, Döberl used specially developed robot -controlled mirror polishing machines. The construction of a special hall with indoor crane for assembling the parts is another example of the company's innovative strength.

worldwide ambitions

Döberl, who has already registered several patents, also plans a global network of 32 telescopes for monitoring space scrap and potential dangers from space. "We will also look for asteroids or meteorites," he said. The aim is to give scientists the opportunity to recognize potential threats to the earth in good time. The demand for this technology increases rapidly, and annually builds astrosystems between 30 and 40 telescopes. The company's turnover moves in the low double -digit million range, with a rapidly increasing tendency.

Interest in the development of astronomy goes beyond the borders of Austria. Gregory Terrance, Vice President of ASA America, a subsidiary of Astrosystems, brings 20 years of experience in the production of CCD and CMOS cameras and aims to offer North American customers immediate support. He is enthusiastic to be part of a team that works closely with NASA, JAXA and other important institutions to maximize the performance of astronomical technology, such as astrosysteme.com . These developments show the immense potential of the company to have global influence on astronomy and to present new technologically advanced products.
