Learn how the world’s largest telescope is helping unlock the origins of the Universe. Microgate designs advanced linear motor-drive control systems for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) to explore deep space—in hopes to unlock the origins of our universe. Not everyone gets to pursue such lofty goals, but Gerald Angerer, Lead Hardware Engineer, Microgate shares how he is do his part to achieve this mission. Microgate’s ELT help to correct wave-front aberrations caused by atmospheric disturbances, enabling clear deep-space imaging. The system utilizes an adaptive mirror that deforms in real-time, requiring compact, thermally adept Vicor power modules for precise voltage regulation in a small housing.
