Thomson Telescopes has extensive experience in design engineering on previous major projects.
In particular the Nuclear sector (over 30 years experience) working on major capital projects in the UK for
BNFL, Washington Group (now part of AECOM), Sellafield Limited and Cavendish Nuclear.
We have nearly 10 years experience working on professional observatories around the world working for
Telescope Technologies Limited, Las Cumbres Observatory (LCOGT) and Glyndwr Innovations.
This included design, installation and on-site support for many of the telescope and observatory systems.
Observatory sites include:-
Liverpool Telescope
Faulkes North Telescope
Faulkes South Telescope
Yunnan 2.4M Telescope
More recent projects, working with Glyndwr Innovations, include:-
Project management, design and testing of ultra-light optical systems for a number of extreme altitude aircraft.
Design, manufacturing, testing and site support of ground support equipment for a major UK satellite provider.
Design, manufacturing and testing for an optical system to be part of a revolutionary body scanner.
Optical design proposals for a major telescope project required by a high profile University in the UK.
Design support during production of the development segments for the E-ELT project.
The most recent project is the design, manufacture and testing of a 760mm diameter F3 Newtonian that utilises COTS corrective optics to provide a large field of view.
This telescope is a portable instrument that is easily assembled and collimated in minutes.
