2 Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) Telescope The heart of any observatory is its telescope, and the heart of any large research telescope is its main light-collecting mirror. With an effective diameter of 2.5 meters (98.75 inches), the SOFIA telescope mirror will be the largest ever to leave the surface of the earth. It will collect and concentrate 162,000 times more light than can the human eye, and nine times more light than its predecessor, the.91 meter (36 inches) telescope carried aboard the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.

3 Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) Telescope Designing a large telescope to operate from an aircraft presents many significant engineering challenges. It must be much lighter than an equivalent ground-based telescope, so the aircraft can stay aloft for as long as possible. At the same time, it must be extremely strong and rigid, so it won't bend under the constant buffeting of the 550-mile-per-hour aircraft slipstream blowing into the open cavity. Finally, its support and control system must accurately point the telescope and keep it precisely on target even as the aircraft is flying through sometimes-turbulent air. The world’s largest airborne telescope. The modifications to the plane include a 10’X10’ opening in the side of the aft portion of the fuselage. A structural finite element model of the telescope assembly was created to evaluate structural integrity, stability, control and structural loads of the telescope assembly and the induced loads to the aircraft.

5 SOFIA Telescope Assembly Controlled Response Utilizing NASTRAN and MATLAB/Simulink for Pointing Analysis SOFIA Telescope Assembly (TA) NASTRAN model is used to create modal state space model that is fed into MATLAB/Simulink controls model. MATLAB/Simulink model is used to apply external forces, implement control laws and perform overall controlled TA pointing calculations. MATLAB/Simulink calculated displacements are fed back into NASTRAN to generate full animations of the TA structures controlled response.
