PROJECTS BACKGROUNDS<\/h3>\n

While optical telescopes work with visible and sometimes infrared wavelengths, radio telescopes work with radio wavelengths.<\/p>\n

Whereas optical telescopes have secondary mirrors, radio telescopes have subreflectors, that send the radio waves collected by the primary reflector towards the detector, which will gather images from the stars, black holes, planets…<\/p>\n

Radio telescopes usually have a larger diameter than optical telescopes.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”35875,35881,35883,35885,35877,35887,35879″ image_grid_loading=”default” layout=”4″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”1″ load_in_animation=”none” img_size=”300×160″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text el_class=”txt-justify”]\n

INAOE DEMAND\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Mexican institute INAOE chose Sym\u00e9trie to provide a hexapod system to support and adjust the subreflector (M2) of the LMT\/GTM telescope on top of the Sierra Negra at 4600 m altitude. LMT\/GTM is the world’s largest single-dish millimeter-wavelength telescope (50 meters diameter) and is operated by INAOE and the University of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
