Abstract

EOS Technologies and EOS Space Systems have developed a unique and cost effective telescope, enclosure and transport system for imaging interferometry applications, using experience gained over a decade of telescope, enclosure and site equipment design and construction. Telescope and enclosure design details, a unique transport system for relocation for telescopes between stations in an interferometric array, and deployment to difficult sites are shown.
