		Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate here have spent years on a project to demonstrate how to place a large telescope inside a typical rocket body and prevent vibrations during launch or deployment that would keep the instrument from operating as intended.
		Teamed with industry, university professors and other government agencies, the Air Force lab spent four years of trial and error before the program was able to unfold the three delicate, circular mirrors to get an accurately focused image that could be updated a thousand times per second with positioning devices and a laser-based sensing system.
		The Air Force Research Laboratory has turned over the technology to large aerospace companies to develop systems for the Air Force, NASA and other customers, said Lawrence “Robbie” Robertson, chief of the research lab’s dynamics and controls group for the Space Vehicles Directorate.
